I agree with Max here.  Users don't really need to know that we've updated
the package manager, except for those users who are nice enough to help
us test things, and they will see it on our web site or mailing lists.
And I would be very surprised if we ever attracted a developer who wanted
to work on the package manager in isolation, that is, separated from the
rest of the fink distribution.  The package manager is a tool, not an end
product: the end product is the distribution.

So I think that Max should make a package manager release at whatever moment
is convenient for him, and we should not publicize such releases beyond
our own community.

Distributions are another matter of course, and we should do everything we
can to let the world know when there is a new distribution.
