Gold Master. When companies distribute boxed versions of their products, they 
send the master copy to the printers in a gold plated disc or whatever. So 
this is called a Gold Master. In the present context for us people who 
download the CD/DVD image(s) it means nothing more than "final release" - 
that is to say, no more 10.0 releases will you have. Next release will be 
10.1. 10.1 alpha is already out, incidentally.
