"finish it off" normally (or at least in my book) means to finish whatever is broken and/or missing in the previous version, and a purely minor bugfixes/cosmetic release seems like a poor choice (considering how hyped both 1.6 and IW was/are),
I dont mind IW being a pure introduction teaser that was kinda expected (alltho everyone had hoped for more), but "finishing" 1.6 this way leaves a very very sour taste in my mouth (not to mention the bad press it gives coupled with the overhype of IW initial release).
btw do you know what was changed in the new IW release (the one
@VIKKKI. linked) ?
