Uh, Don, that's wording that we expect will apply to the 7.0 *release*.
We did not claim that the beta version has no known bugs.

Thomas made an engineering judgment that supporting beta-testing of all
the new foreign key features was more important than having a first beta
release with no regression in the parser. You can argue that he made
the wrong choice (I'm not sure if he did or not), but I don't think
jumping on him like this is appropriate.
