Yup - I wouldn't be surprised if within a few hours 80% of the concerned users will have already installed it. Even if you send out the news now anybody who synced overnight wouldn't get it in time anyway. Might not hurt to log a blocker bug just to track the news item the next time you consider a major upgrade like this. Then you don't actually stabilize anything until AFTER the news goes out. :)

I'm not a dev; but I strongly agree that you get it out ASAP - I almost upgraded two days ago :-)
[gentoo-dev] Anyone intrested in maintaining Midnight Commander?
The latest version is now patch free, 4.7.0_pre3, and there's only 1 bug open. So I'm basically done with it. If any of you actually use it, feel free to substitute me from the metadata.xml, I just picked it up because nobody else did. Thanks, Samuli
Re: [gentoo-dev] Anyone intrested in maintaining Midnight Commander?
Hi Samuli, I would possibly be interested in maintaining mc. I am not a current gentoo developer, but I have been trying to get involved recently. Is there anyway I could help out? Or is this only for current gentoo developers.
