The bugs are all resolved now. (1 fixed, 1 remind, 3 later (enhancements).)
So it's just a matter of what release this will be, and what to do about the
deprecated methods. Then I can send out the vote.

So you're suggesting that I rip out the deprecated methods now, go for RC1,
and damn the torpedoes that the API is incompatible between Beta 1 and RC1,
and there was no warning (other than nightly builds)? You really think
that's OK?

Gump builds for Tomcat and Turbine will start failing as soon as I remove
the deprecated methods. Tapestry won't be affected, since Mr. Tapestry
doesn't like the way Gump works, and has nailed Tapestry to Beta 1. Struts
already has the necessary changes.
