I think I should be OK with the website upgrade and content update.
But having extra time never hurts. ;)

I am all for giving Marcus the time he would need to get the ATA stack
in better shape. After all, I don't think a few more days (or even a
couple or more of weeks for that matter) are a big deal in the context
of the 8+ years that took us to get here.
IOW, if a bit more time is needed to make alpha 1 a better release, then
we should not be shy or ashamed to change the freeze/release date(s) IMO.
Cheers,
Jorge/aka Koki
