     At least this time, there was a response.  I know everybody is
doing their best, but the lack of communication from core / release
engineering can be frustrating at times.

     Anyways, I guess this means a one to two week beta test minimum,
followed by a minimum of one week to build the releases.  Add a bit of
slop time, and we're looking at a minimum of one month for the
release.  Is that about right?  Hopefully, we'll have the release
before christmas.
