Well, there's a laundry list, I understand, if things that core would like
to do before the next release.  But, if we do upgrade the tools (and it
might not be a bad idea...) we should surely not make a release for more
than two months in order to address any code problems that may come up in
the upgrade.

IMHO, of course.
