Since we have several major packages (GCC 2.7.x, ncurses, maybe BIND and
PCMCIA...  anything else?) waiting for integration, how about attempting
to do a 1.2 release focusing on these items, 2-3 months after 1.1 is
released?

If these things are incorporated right after 1.1 and then 1.2 isn't
released for another year, they're going to be out of date by then and
those who can't afford to stary -current will have to wait a long, long
time to get them. 

(Incidentally, since it has been a long time since 1.0, I think NetBSD
can get away with calling this release 2.0, if we want to keep up on
major version numbers with you-know-who ;->)
