I disagree; this should have been disabled for the beta already as it makes no 
sense to get bugreports for a component you *know* is not working and 
unfinished.
I have plenty of bugreports thank you, no need to get stuff that I have to tell 
the reporters I want to close, but they object to me closing it until its 
actually fixed etc.  Its just messy.

I was a bit surprised by the beta, certainly my own fault for not checking the 
schedule but there you have it.
I still need to disable frame outlines, for instance and my focus goes to 
getting pagespreads saving properly, but if that fails I'll have to disable it 
too. In previous releases I disabled some known-to-not-work scripts and the 
shapes docker and multi-language spell checking too.

In general I'd say we had 6 months already and the stuff disabled now has 
little to no chance of being finished if it wasn't worked on at all in those 6 
months, and we can always enable stuff again if we get surprised :)
I just don't want the bugreports for stuff thats obviously unfinished.
