Kevin, please calm down. You aren't helping yourself - and by extension, 
your constituents (/me waves) - by treating everything said by someone 
not obviously "on your side" as a personal attack.

I don't see anywhere that Stephen was calling current updates "unbaked". 
Stephen is trying to throw some water on the fire /without/ taking 
sides. I can't, unfortunately, say he is succeeding; not because of his 
own efforts - which I find to be of very high quality - but... well, 
because certain parts of the fire just seem to burn hotter no matter what.

So, please, take a step back, and try seeing if maybe, just maybe, your 
views aren't as incompatible as you think.
