But what good is testing the desktop if we cannot attempt to fix problems we
encounter?

So we'll just commit after the release, oh wait, no, that's just a couple
of weeks before the scheduled 3.2.1.. so we'd better not fix any bugs but
major ones when backporting..

I agree with Waldo on having another Beta if HEAD is not as stable and
perfect as it should be. Developers *will* want to fix bugs and it's better
to have regressions now and release later, than to release now and have the
regressions in the branch.
