Bruce agreed that this had been vague before today, so if people have
had this date in mind and have been working to it, perhaps they have
some telepathic abilities I lack ...
We missed on PITR *and* Win32 last year. ISTM there's a bit of a
credibility issue at stake, so it might well be worth taking a couple of
weeks leeway if that's what is required.
The other point, especially about Win32, is to see if we can spread the
load a bit. Perhaps Claudio, Magnus, Merlin and Bruce should start
trying to farm out specific tasks. I for one will be very upset if it
misses this release.
