I'm technically not working this week, but spot-checked my email to see where 
we are with v1.5 (shh! don't tell my wife...)

1. There are a number of outstanding issues such that it does not seem like it 
is a good idea to rush out a v1.5 release just so that we can say it was before 
the holidays.  

2. Here are the issues that I am aware of:

- VT build issues; they just filed a CMR today that may or may not be complete
- shmem segv errors; Sam and Ralph are iterating on this and seem to be closing 
in on a fix
- debugger issues; Nathan and Ralph are iterating on this and seem to be 
closing in on a fix
- one of the hwloc generated config.h files is somehow ending up in the 
tarball; I need to investigate
- Cisco static MTT builds are failing, I think due to a hwloc 
libnuma.a/libnuma.so issue; I need to investigate
- hwloc building issue on older RH8

3. I may appear here and there over the holidays, but I'll be mostly checked 
out until Jan 3.  I hereby delegate my RM powers to Ralph for the duration 
(he's working all this week and will generally be around more than me over the 
holidays).  He can do things like approve CMRs per both his discretion and the 
discussion that I had with him about my intent for v1.5.5 earlier today.  Ralph 
will likely also post a new RC if some/all of the above issues get fixed, just 
so that we can do another round of testing to see how all of the issues look.  
1.5.5 (final) will not be released before Jan 3, 2011.

Happy holidays, everyone!
