Switching testing to the release branch is not a problem (at least for us),
but a full-fledged release also involves other administrative work, in 
particular preparing and uploading the archives, tagging the CVS, etc. --

that's going to be taking care of, we'll take care of Win32 regressions. 
Otherwise, I'd say patches are a way to go, until 1.32.
