Just for clarification, each enhancement doesn't need it's own release, just major changes like moving to commons-resources. I see each point release as having at most one major change and I will join Ted in vetoing any major changes occuring while another is in progress. I've personally signed up for about 10 minor enhancements to 1.2 and will help with the commons-resources move. When that move is done we should cut 1.2.
