Ah, one thing. The good procedure is not to release 2.4.x and then
start releasing 1.6.x... that is, it's not unless you want to make
the gt2 release twice.

The first time I did the release, I first released gt2, and then
started doing cite tests that showed a failure, which needed a fix
in gt2. So I had to re-release it (pain!).

The procedure is more like:
* announce freeze on both projects
* build both projects from a clean checkout (no local modifications)
* run the cite tests, make sure we're ok
* release gt2
* release geoserver

Hope this helps
Cheers
Andrea
