I for one would be extremely miffed if any update in F12 would make my
savegame non-functional.
If 1.8 breaks savegame compatibility, I really think it should not be
pushed before F13.
I fail to see what would be achieved by letting it sit in testing -
unless it's meant to test that it doesn't in fact break savegames?

This is exactly the 1.4>1.6 debate, practically verbatim, and why I'm
leaning towards Bruno's proposal ( :) ). People who primarily play
online are adamant that we update a stable release. People who
primarily play solo are adamant that we do not update a stable release.
I happen to primarily play solo, and I'm running a local build of 1.8,
so that's no help. :)
Unless I hear a great deal of wailing and gnashing of teeth in the next
few days, I'll probably proceed with Project Bruno.
I'd also like to hear from wtogami, the co-maintainer, but I've not
heard from him since he changed jobs, though I have his new email.
