That is awesome and we as a project are lucky to have that! I would not
want things put into practice that users can't use or see huge flaws with.

I can't help but read this as you being OK with the feature going ahead,

Actually, let's say I have no particular objection. Just thought Sean's point is worth noting.

Now, if this had been done as an extensible resource I could easily decouple deploying it from all the bug fixes that come through with the release. But that's another matter...
