This is the exact same concern that I have. A delay just to have a
delay is not useful. I completely agree that we need more automated
testing, etc, though getting all of that set up and running could be
done at any time too- there's no reason to wait, nor do I believe
delaying 9.5 would make such automated testing appear.
Thanks!
