What?! It's a month past the "hard deadline" I gave at
the beginning! :^)

That's ok, so long as it won't be a problem to get that
done in the next 2 weeks.

I fully expect that this first community-driven release cycle
will teach us a lot. For one, I think that there were way too
many proposals on the 2.6 plan. For the next rev, we need to
refine the process to try to keep the scope tighter and probably
also refine the commitment process so that we know the real
status of things sooner.
