Maybe one point release in April, and an official later?

I think delay is acceptable, but why not make an 'expected to work fine' release candidate (à la Linus) in April for those who depend on the release date? Then everybody is happy!

I am using Dapper right now, and from my point of view it is already very good quality; I have seen other vendors (not cited by Mark ;-) release things that were much less ready than that!

Be sure there would be more "Flight CD's" if the final release were postponed, with further updates via apt.

I installed Flight 3 in my portable. and it is running just fine right now, progressively morphed into Flight 5. It's fun to see it evolve every day into something ever more polished.
