End of year snapshot

This is just to remind folks that we are approaching the end of year
snapshot.  I will be on vacation starting Dec 18th until the New Year so
would like to make the snapshot on the 18th.

If there are any changes that you wish to be part of the year-end snapshot
that haven't been reviewed/posted yet, please notify the list.  If you need
a little more time for any important patches, please let me know.

Anything else will have to wait until the New Year.  If deemed necessary,
we can cut an additional snapshot then.
