Dave and Allen,

You guys are obviously biased in your votes here - primarily because
Roller is your job and you've been mandated to schedule the releases
to more fit their work schedule.  I don't blame you.

You guys are contributing the most code, and handling all release
aspects - so I believe the decision is up to you.  I'm in favor of
whatever you guys advocate.  If you are going to go through with this,
it'd be nice to see a release schedule so we know when it's best to
commit code.  I'd like to integrate Acegi this week or next, but if
there's a release coming out soon, I should probably wait.
