Well, why not keep our plan of releasing 3.2 ASAP and save this problem for a later 3.2.x as a bug fix ?
Making subsequent bug-fix releases should be fast and easy. We cannot afford to repeat the long hiatus between 3.1.3 and 3.2, with a long period of time without any official bug fix. I agree that 3.3 may come later, but we definitely should be able to release 3.2 bugfixes version as often as possible. This will save us and our users a lot of time, allowing us to stop writing "yeah, we know this bug, it's already fixed in SVN but you'll have to wait an undefinite time for the fix to go public". Releasing often may need a bit of work on the web site side, however. I feel that updating the web site is the current bottleneck, since only Grisha can do it. Could it be possible to make the web site writable by the commiters ? Maybe have a "web" directory in subversion, so that we can edit the site and make update on the web server side when we want to release new content ?
