Thinking about this issue practically, it seems to me that it would be in Pyro's/HTC's best interest to expose us to the new features etc, of AH2 before putting up the download. Otherwise we'll have a blizzard of questions/reactions to the new features the same day we have a blizzard of questions/reactions regarding downloading/installing the new software.
Maybe these two inevitable storms would be best dealt with separately, rather than trying to weather both at the same time?
