I initially felt this way and tried making this argument to Anthony on
IRC, but he wasn't having any of it: as I understand it (not wishing to
put words into his mouth), he feels that making a new release knowing
that it violates the social contract is qualitatively different from
putting up with the old release that met the promises in the old
contract but not the new one. After some discussion, I have to say I was
convinced.
Ultimately, it's the release manager who gets most say in this one.
