Let's try a one week minimum on the next release.

Other issues:

*  Unless explicitly discussed, there should not be any regressions (pass 
which changed to fail) compared to the prior release.

*  We need to keep working on regression test automation (Dave and Beman 
made some progress recently, but it still isn't quite ready for prime 
time.)

*  Dave and Beman have done some initial experiments on a system to allow 
developers who prefer it to be emailed when a regression test they care 
about fails.  This would be done at the time of release candidate 
branching.

*  We are about to integrate Gennadiy's Boost.Test package.  That will give 
us more powerful testing tools.
