I think we could have done a better job in releasing 1.0 by allowing a week for
testing, a week for incorporation of feedback and follow this process a couple
of times. Unfortunately we ended up doing that anyway which cost us about 4
weeks and the holiday didn't help. Based on that experience I think the cut off
and a named RC release, TCK and bug feedback, cut and put out for another week
and publish if no major gotchas which I think extends your time frame for about
two weeks at the end. Anything short of that I think were trading quality off
for speediness.

How does everyone feel about a changes cutoff for 1.0.1 on Fri 27th
Jan, aiming for a 1.0.1 release in the 1st week of Feb.
The 27th would give us three weeks to get bug fixes in and tested.
Considering 1.0.1 is a maintenance release, hopefully it will be
easier to get out the door than 1.0.
The only non-bug fix that I am aware of that should be in 1.0.1 is the
IzPack installer.
