Is mining supposed to be working at this point? I'm on the absolute latest release and still not hitting a thing (and never have)... this thing has more forks than a buffet. It's a daily chore to keep on top of the multi-day client releases. Shall I just check out for a few months and wait for things to get sorted? When do we think we'll actually have a stable network here? Each release is like ... "yeah okay got it, we're good... no wait! mining disabled... okay re-enabled, no blacklisted, disabled..." it's labor intensive for me and not worth the money if I rate my hourly wage here...

I recognize that real projects take real time, but you guys shouldn't promise a release until you are _really_ ready. It will likely irrevocably damage the project's reputation. Write some more test cases and test the network before releasing it.
