It's my job to try to run the release, but I welcome everybody's

Gerald also suggested this idea today, so I'm leaning towards doing

especially if everyone else thinks so.

I will soon post a message to the various lists announcing a 1-week

I'm somewhat afraid that people will just keep working on the new
