Yes, and I told you why that is ... upstream had good beta/rc programs
for those c4.0 and c5.0.  The releases were built entirely on the beta's
... the build environment was good.

For 3.0 and 6.0, we had to invent a new build system and had to host it
on a different OS.  They did not build it on the beta/rc.

It will be released when it is released, if you don't like it then leave.
