Thanks for the feedback. There are two separate points where I'd like to 
address:

* Soliciting feedback ahead of the release. I agree with these points, 
and I apologize for my oversight. I (or whoever handles the release) 
will ensure we post it here ahead of the GA next year. Please accept my 
apologies.

* Spreading the word: I appreciate the willingness and sentiment of 
doing this as this is a big part of helping to grow the community. I 
think this is independent of the first point, as this is a continuous 
process, and with a new release, the big efforts largely start after the 
GA is available (such as today[1]).

Thanks,

Jonathan
