Hate to break it to you, Baro, but after technical/bug fixing is
overwith, 3.3 is going straight to public release. There's never going
to be an open beta, much less a "feature testing" beta. You just better
hope enough people in the closed beta think that slow turning is a bad
idea (unless, of course, Rick and JP think it's a good idea, in which
case no amount of arguing will get it changed. :P).
