WHat's frustrating to me with this whole PR 1.2 discussion is not so much when it will be released, but rather the fact we have these large monolithic releases at all.

For all the openness around maemo development we don't have what we get on desktop linux distros -- ie all capability packaged, regular updates, and a variety of repositories to reflect different needs (ie stable/beta/development)

I hope this will improve in meego -- and of course it's also right to expect updates to be bundled carefully for the stable channel, whilst beta and esp development can be more dynamic/use at own risk.

And cruicially making individual packages available would allow affected users to get hold of very specific fixes they need (for example I'm waiting for a certificate manager fix to address a wireless eap-tls issue) promptly .

Let's hope this changes and this whole "PR" discussion becomes irrelevant in future.,
