It is this sort of attitute which guarantees a long time between 1.4
and 1.5. I see no reason that releng can not stipulate, barring a
major CVS catastrophe that releases will happen every six months ON
THE DOT. Indeed I strongly advise RE to set the release timetable for
1.5 NOW, so there will be no moral ground on which to stand in
defending pet code, both now and in six months time.

btw, herb, we need a releng mailinglist.

It is no use telling me that there are bad aunts and good aunts.
At the core they are all alike. Sooner or later, out pops the
