Well, I'm not about to start hacking on Anaconda for all sorts of
reasons. If everyone on this list started contributing patches I doubt
that would actually get us closer to a 'solution'. Writing code for
the component in question isn't a prerequisite for worrying about the
process that got us to this point.

(Personally the extra time is giving the Jam spin more time to get
finalised, which is good, but then I'm not one of the people who has
to attend weekly blocker reviews on this topic or unable to do
anything because they're stuck in beta freeze.)
