Not that I disagree with you, or want it any different but...
I'm kinda wondering why we're choosing edgy to be umm.. edgy?
It's the first release with this short a dev time and yet we're upping
the danger/pain threshold to higher levels than norm buy putting damn
near "bleeding edge" features into it.

Don't our devs have enough stress with normal releases?

Cutting the production time and upping the ante is something my bosses
like to do to me, and in my experiences it causes nothing but employee
burn out and substandard results.
