I think this is misguided on two counts:
 - Aaron and John (to pick two names :)) have landed huge changes in
performance, doubling the speed of merge and making countless other
operations incrementally faster.
 - The *whole point* of time based releases is that they *happen*, NOT
that they *be exciting*.
