my two cents:
I personaly think of CE as an in-between. it's not an RC, for it IS stable. yet it's not final, since it's not perfect. It is a good release, I recommend it, because it is as stable as 9.2 (for me even more). But the thing I don't like is they are SELLING a product that is yet to be finished! if it isn't final (even if it is good, stable and all), why sell it?
This is a confusing change. It is final in form, yet not in name.
If they are searching for a burst of money, they could do it in another way, because this will make so many customers angry.... (I had to pay once, and now I have to pay again for the same thing with bugfixes?????)
