Not officially but I think we should try to close this thing out and
start a vote in the next week or two at most.

I'm going through the tickets again now.  There is also a new issue of
the json-p license falling out of favor in Apache legal terms and
becoming Category-X.  Am looking into that now.

Thanks
Joe
