I have some concerns as well.

Resolver is byte2byte identical. So shouldn't be a problem.
Avalon, well, an official release is always better than a intermetiate
snapshot.
My only concern is with Xerces 2.0: while I absolutely see the need to
move to Xerces 2.0 as soon as possible, I think that doing it the day
before release is a little too far.
I would release with Xerces 1.4.4 and update it tomorrow.

Oh, that's not a big deal: we can add DELI support in 2.0.2

When it makes sense, yes. For resolver, this is a just a legal thing.
For avalon, well, this will make Sam and Gump happier (and me as well).

I'm suggesting to reverting the Xerces 2.0 upload (just in case!) before
release.

Uh, almost missed the deadline :)
