 * Before you release any new major version of wordpress, please get the documentation
   in order. The codex is a sad monster, and the new features are not documented
   at all. And before anybody jumps at me and says “just do it yourself”, well, 
   dudes, if I could do that then I wouldn’t complain about the lack of documentation…

 * Actually, I think the Codex is *wonderful* resource that is one of the very best
   in the FLOSS world. That said, I’d suggest “Patience, gwasshoppah!”
 * The documentation will eventually “catch up” as those who can do so contribute.
   That said, it would be foolish to delay the release of a new version, particularly
   if there are security issues involved (and there usually are!), just to wait 
   for the documentation to catch up.
 * Given the choice of “new” code and “outdated” docs, or “old” code with “less 
   out-dated” docs, I’ll go for the new code every time! 😉
