Considering that except for Paul E's fixes the rest are one liners to
deal with minor annoyances in often dusty corner cases I think a point
release is not that hard to come up with. And I would like to see a
point release soon just to capture that stuff.

I don't think that a point release now is a big deal. It just sets us up
for another one in a few months.

I am more then willing to compromise or even back off completely on an
impending freeze. If Paul E and Dan Williams speak up I am sure we can
reach a decision.

I realize that making that broad statement is heavy handed. Let me know
what you all would prefer to do.

I don't think that we need to be as formal about a release as you
mention. But I am all for applying process to a release. It makes for a
more solid product even if it might take a while.
