If nobody objects within 24 hours, I will tag and release 2.4.2- pre1.

Do we really need tags for this? In recent history, we have seen little to no responses to the -pre releases. Can't we just direct people to a specific SVN revision? Or even better, provide them with a link to a tarball that
they can use?

that makes sense! I'll reserve tags for final release.
from now on, the "-pre" cycle will only consist in freezing for a week.
as usual, this is limited to non invasive changes.

having a symlink to the latest buildbot tarball would help.
@Charles: can you please recall me the situation on that point?

It really should be a redirect rather than a symlink, so that the filename reflects the revision. I haven't had time to look into implementing that.

On the other hand, the whole purpose of a freeze is to test a specific version, so I think it makes sense to say "test the tarball at this specific URL".

Using the '[help]' link at the bottom of the waterfall, it is possible to customize the list of builds. The following URL limits the list to trunk builds with tarballs:
