I believe there are still too many important issues that need to be resolved, and through last week the number of issues was increasing rather than decreasing as we got feedback from users on IRC and the mailing list. The 14 open tickets in Milestone Release 6 represents the issues that I think should be resolved. There are a few that could be rolled forward: #501, #461, #444, #201; but I've left those in the milestone because they are close to being resolved. At least two of those 14 tickets have patches from Olemis that just need to be reviewed and applied, and several other tickets just need minor follow-up. There are two important issues, #554 and #548, that I'm giving priority to at the moment, and I also have a bloodhound.db file from avp that came out of a discussion on IRC. He had a fairly complex series of problems that started with the "qct not defined" error that was resolved in #544, but even after that issue is resolved he still cannot create tickets. I will open a ticket for that after I have some time to sort out the discussion that took place on the mailing list and can describe the issue in detail. It would be nice to get the release out as soon as possible, but I feel it is more important to resolve these issues, otherwise we will cause our users problems and end up devoting more of our time supporting users that experience those problems. - Ryan
