Open mouth, insert foot... That was a totally ignorant response on my
part. My apologies to Bruce, Matt, and all previous release managers
and support staff. Yet again, I've spoken before thinking. What I
should have said is "From an editor's POV, it's almost done." I have
absolutely no idea how much work goes into updating the website, writing
a release announcement, setting up source and patch directories,
subversion tags, mirroring, and all the other fine details that I'm sure
I've missed. I suspect it is difficult (to say the least) to get all of
that work done and not miss anything. Just the number of tasks
alone...jeez. Again, I am very sorry for my short sighted response,
and very much appreciate the hard work from our release
managers/coordinators.
