There's another excellent reason for a release then.

By the way, Geoff (and everyone else), you are encouraged to mention  
good reasons for releases if you come across them. If the last  
release has been out for over a month then starting on the next one  
makes sense if there are improvements that people start to depend on.  
Like this one.

I would also be in favor of following Andreas' lead for Zope and move  
to a purer time-based model where we say that each release  
maintenance branch should produce a "third dot" release in fixed  
intervals, maybe 2 months.
