There is no release branch. 

pb_ds is new code, and I found errors in
the debug parts of it. I don't want to have a release of new code
that has known API issues, and then have to support it. The patch was
larger than I expected but mostly mechanical, and to extensions which
have historically been allowed more leeway.

The libstdc++ testresults indicate to me that we're in good shape
across all primary hosts. (And have been for months.) I'm not worried
about the branch to gcc-4_2-branch, quality wise.

Part of the library release process is carefully looking at our
supported interfaces and removing bits that shouldn't be in the next
release. I consider these kinds of patches fair game for stage 3.

best,
benjamin
