Is v8 a mistake edition?

There is no doubt in my my mind that the launch of 1P would make an outstanding case study for Business School. Just reading all the various issues raised by Users and Beta Users together with the responses from 1P on how they are seemingly, somewhat, working on these issues but without a timeline is evidence enough of an ill-timed release. Reading the items updated between versions is, sadly, evidence that the senior management of 1P is out of touch with the basic customer base is seems to be convinced its original vision was not only correct but being correctly applied. I feel a lot of sympathy with those employees who are required to answer our many issues. They have a thankless task.
