That doesn't mean it is useful to complain about problems with a beta  
build that is months old.

So all developers bar one should go on a vacation when there is a  
regression found?

BTW, a pointer to the bug report you filed or a forum thread that  
discusses the problem you have might be useful.

People will start asking for it once they've used it for a while in  
Firefox 3. We just happened to have the same brilliant idea at around the  
same time this time :)

If we wouldn't introduce features (asked and unasked) in new releases,  
we'd soon be totally irrelevant.

Who said that?    The regression should be fixed.  I did nothing about
other development being stopped.   Is your viewpoint so weak that you have
to make up stuff in order to sustain it?

It was discussed on the blog.  I saw no need to duplicate the effort.

If no one is using it yet, how do you know that the new feature will
actually be used?
