It's normally decided by Beman, but he's been busy with the standards
meeting. Beman had mentioned having a discussion during this release
cycle, so I tried to start one (and also make sure people realise that
we don't have much time before the scheduled release). If I'd had more
of a response, I'd have a good idea of what people want and would feel
confident about setting a schedule. But since I haven't, I'll leave it
for when Beman returns. You might have very little warning, but there
you go.
