Are you suggesting that releasing huge, destabilizing, beta-quality changes that strip features customers depend on and that no one asked for should be done at some other time than year-end - when business are really busy with increased sales during the holiday season and also trying to clean up and finalize their accounting, and also doing year-end tasks like payroll tax filings? I mean, really? Is there a better time of year?

Oh, I know, how about early April, right before taxes are due. Yea, that would be much better.
