Rich Hickey and the rest of the Clojure Team are very careful designers. I wouldn't worry too much

I am aware of this, which is why I suppose previous releases haven't included as many features at once as this one. It's this possible change of pace that raised the question in me :)

Add to which, a lot of "new, big features" come in libraries, not the core language itself.
But my point is specifically about the features mentioned in this very release, which are all in the built-in clojure namespaces. Or did I miss something from the release notes?

In fact, the separate libraries have their own release process and isn't part of this release at all, as things should be. So not sure what you're referring to here exactly?

That the size or pace of this release alone should cause worry about future hairballs.
