Of course there is. Any addition or removal of files at this point has
the chance of breaking the release process, which may fail to pick up
files, or break in trying to pick up files that it expected to be there.
This has happened *many* times during the alpha and beta releases of
3.2, so it's not at all a theoretical problem.

After the next release candidate, I'd prefer to see no changes
whatsoever to the tree (but it's Georg's decision, of course).

Martin
