The following bugs have been squashed:

No known major regressions.

Thoughts
Poor hunkman asked the Drupal developers to define a goal, here's how it turned out:

hunmonk what are the overall goals of drupal?
hunmonk my experience is that those are not clearly agreed upon
killes kick other CMSes ass.
hunmonk lol
hunmonk killes: that's not specific enough
hunmonk read anything on goal setting, and one of the first things you'll see is: be specific
vauxia Total World Domination
killes Well, that is probably the only thing you can reach agreement among developers though :p
mozillaman hunmonk: Kick other CMSs rumps at 40MPH with Niekie size 12 shoes.
mozillaman hunmonk: Better?
hunmonk er, i don't think that's the kind of specificity i was talking about .... :P
hunmonk i've seen two camps
vauxia There is specificity - but it's on a per-implementor basis
hunmonk #1 popularity camp
vauxia That seems OK to me
hunmonk #2 quality camp
hunmonk of course everybody wants more of both
hunmonk but
hunmonk i think different people are more concerned with one or the other
mozillaman hunmonk: Ahh, you forget #3, usability.
hunmonk oh, right
vauxia And #4 scalability
hunmonk how could i forget that!
mozillaman and #5 portability
hunmonk yes, see--the camps come out!
vauxia and #6 versatility
