I'm not going back to school. Neither is David, nor you, nor Peter, nor

I should have been a little more clear about my stance on regressions. I 
think we should do the exact opposite of what you suggested. Stop work on 
all non-regression tickets. Our feature-set has increased more than enough 
for a release. Anything else should, for now, be put by the wayside for 
future releases in the 1.x branch.

At least, IMO.
