Whatever number you want is fine with me.

I believe we should make release more frequently with smaller increments.
This will disuade library authors from cramming stuff in at the last minute
which slows things down rather than speeds things up.  It will also give
users confidence that the number of bugs and quirks is minimized.

The things pending in this release (what ever number it has)

a) streams - jonathan turkanis
b) serialization - dll version
c) I'm not sure what else - ranges might be in here
d) miscellaneous bug fixes.

In my view the release should be a much simpler affair than it has been in
the past.  I would like to see

a) an announce ment to refrain checking in anything other than bug fixes to
pass tests.
b) this "quiet period" would be about 10 days or until the test matrix is at
acceptable level.
c) The release would be "cut"

The fact that release contains only one new library and other minor changes
hopefully would make this process relatively un dramatic.
