I wondering if for this release we should be more rigid in our pre-release 
procedures. Every Boost release is important, but this one will be available 
for a long time without us having the ability to directly update it, so any 
bug will come back to haunt us over and over again. 

I would suggest a feature freeze within the next few days (the 20th?), and 
then the remaining time would be used for bug fixes only, and hopefully we 
would have a greater frequency of regression testing within that period.
