Okay, I have just tried the beta The result was an unpleasant mess involving
broken extensions, themes and a few other unpleasant things. My conclusion
would be similar to the one from July when I first tried Deep Park and
struggled < http://schestowitz.com/Weblog/archives/2005/07/09/deer-park/ >.
I hope that the final transition to 1.5 would be a smooth and painless one.
