@dberry I never stated it was a tremendous amount of work to get it back to where was needed. But it was/would be work; especially if you needed grouping and/or filters. To play it off that it would be "no work" if released in that state, was and is, incorrect. During alpha, it didn't need documentation, but if it was released to live/gold as it was, it would have had more of an impact on the mass populous ("newbies") than you are giving it credit for in your dismissals of the complaints.
The point of creating / releasing alphas, to my understanding, is precisely what is happening here. Discussion and work. There is no need for you to dismiss valid points made by several serious developers who are also taking their time to test everything that comes out to make the L5 experience the best it can be.
(and documentation point - I am not the one you need to point your sceptre on that for that; I agree that to expect documentation farther than API comments is wrong. It's alpha and constantly in flux)
