Yeah, I'd expect so; but it seems like a good idea to leave room for the
possibility of more than one commit. I was first thinking that we'd
just release a new alpha from CVS HEAD if the evil-bug situation comes
up. However, if we've already done a catversion bump or some other
incompatible change in HEAD, that wouldn't be very practical.
