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.
