Also, Jesper identified a few things that can easily be aligned from 3.0 in a very short period of time. I am happy to wait for his thumbs up before proceeding. I am also keen on releasing another alpha of 3.0 at the same time as the 2.6 alpha. I believe that will make our life easier when answering future support-oriented questions about 2.6 on the mailing list going forward. So, doing one more alpha release of 2.6 has minimal impact on 3.0 timing and leaves us in as clean a state as can be hoped for when retiring a previously planned branch. Cheers, Paul.
