Indeed, with hindsight it would probably have been better to introduce 
those changes during beta phase already; but some issues hadn't been 
identified as serious problems back then; and as for the new features, 
most of them have a virtually zero risk of breaking existing ones, are 
either small enough or have been tested extensively enough to be quite 
sure that they're bug-free in themselves, and are either better fit for 
3.7.0 rather than a later 3.7.1 release or complement features already 
introduced during beta phase.
