It can't be "justified", but stamping one's foot isn't going to help,
Jeremy, and you know that.
I think what we need is an unoffical update. Package them up as unofficial
and tell people to take their chances. But realise that there is probably at
least one part in that update that will break something. What part is it?
Dunno. That's what the review process determines.
Rather than just dumping theme somewhere, though, they DO need to be
packaged up the same way the other releases are. Then people can install
them the same way, and when review happens, the replacements for the ones
that have issues that missed getting identified in this unreviewed update
will be in a subsequent update and replace them.
Note that I am not volunteering for this, if you think the delays are bad
now, just put me in charge and pine for "now" as "the good old days" because
I'd make things worse.
