Yes, it was an intentional and communicated decision.  I guess what my
gut says right now is that while some folks are willing to live with
some "it's broken, try again in a few days or go back to ...", a lot of
the community expects things to be mostly working, and there was also
some "ok, I want to expand / use this stuff, but..." that we ran into,
which really is situation dependent.  And yes, next time we will need to
weigh the options once again.
