We've been "close enough to 3.1" for ages, and a 3.1 release doesn't help fix
the bugs in 3.0 which people will continue to use.

Actually some are relatively major.

The bigger issue is that trunk was unstable at that point.  spamd still
exhibits random lock ups, for instance.

What distraction?  There are a handful of patches left (mostly backports from
3.1), and then the code is ready to go.  There's someone (me) who's willing to
be the RM for 3.0.4...  So how is this a distraction?

For a group who from previous conversations wanted to do the "release
often" thing, there seems to be a lot of resistance to releasing bug
fix versions...  The original plan starting with 2.6 was to do this kind
of thing monthly, and new feature releases every 3-6 months, as a "fwiw".
We've not gotten anywhere close to that schedule.
