Hi Kyle,
I disagree with you about 2 points - I think 3.3 is all about
"elegance". Try to look at the code - and compare it with 3.2 or 4.0.
Of course, it's a matter of taste - but the refactoring was done exactly
to make the code more "elegant" ( cleaner, easier to understand and
maintain ).
As for "advanced features" - it's true, many people think "featurism" is
bad, and 3.3 shouldn't have any new "advanced features" - but it must
make possible to implement them as modules. BTW, that's about elegance too
- a small and simple core, and independent "features". And you'll see
quite a few - after the most important job ( finishing refactoring ) is
done.
