 I support the final-release-then-close approach.  But can we get a

I strongly object to moving the 4.1 brach to GPLv3.

I too think that it would be a bad idea to switch the 4.1 branch to GPLv3, and, therefore, I think it would be a bad idea to do another release. Instead, I think we should just leave the branch in its current state: people can put GPLv2 changes there to fix GCC 4.1.x regressions. There's no particular benefit to actually "closing" the branch; anyone who wants can always take a checkout on the branch from whatever point they prefer.
