I guess I can do it again.  Most of the stuff is mechanical.  We'd need
to decide on a package freeze.  Right now there are a total of 16 open
tickets, but only 5 are assigned to 6.3.  Of these, the iproute ticket
could either be moved to future or we could send a message to the devs
and ask them to repackage the app.  I haven't looked into the others in
any detail.

Just as a comparison, there were a total of 126 tickets worked for 6.2
and there are a total of 157 (5 open) for 6.3.

What do you want for a target release date?  I would think we could get
a -rc1 out in a week if we don't make any changes to the tool chain.
