Why won't you feel confident? Are there any specific issues (apart from
the lack of a WSGI PEP)?
If they are technical problems, they should be reported on the bug
tracker.
If they are representational, cultural or psychological issues, I'm
not sure what we can do. But delaying the release won't solve them.
