Yeah, they're just interested in having all the features of 0.88
backported to 0.84... which yields the same result with a lot more
effort and less collaboration with SoaS and other Sugar distros :-)

I'd expect people to change their mind on the feasibility of a quick
transition to Sugar 0.88 after they see my new build. There are
basically 0 compatibility problems with activities and 0 regressions
caused by switching to a new distro.

Sugar 0.88 itself has some bugs, but is overall in a much better shape
than Sugar 0.84 was when I've first seen it in January. So I'm quite
optimist that we'll meet the August release date, especially if we get a
little help from the Sugar Labs community, OLPC and other deployments.
