Perhaps it's time to release a beta or milestone or something? That way we
can get some extra testing while we polish for 2.1 and hopefully get a
release candidate out within, oh, let's say early October? Try to release
2.1 around the end of October/early November at the latest? I think we can
probably do it, and I can RM again.
