I'm inclined to agree, although I'm not sure there's really been as much testing as might be ideal...
Could I suggest that this release, as it will essentially be a production release, only include those packages that are stable enough? I think we'd all agree some packages are just not up to scratch, and perhaps it would be better to leave these in a *beta* download area, so people could get them separately. This would leaves a cleaner, more stable core, and thus a better overall impression.
