 Ok. Could you give me some examples of such?

 > disabling the redirects is the safest method we can take.

 Agree.

 > this does not impact on your ability to use "pretty urls"

 I know, fine.

 > The time between 3.1 and 3.2 should be much shorter than the 3.0-3.1
 release cycle

 I know, and this is fine.

 I'm very happy that this issue is taken very seriously by core developers
 and committers. In fact, I'm quite impressed. If necessary to
 discriminate, declare support for IIS6 somewhat limited when it comes to
 non-essential functions like canonical redirects, but fully support IIS7.x
 when possible. IIS6 isn't actually "state-of-the-art" webserver technology
 in 2011.
