Okay, sounds like a plausible plan. Still, I would like to try and
release a beta to the general list when we freeze, it does not hurt
and may even lead to some feedback. We need some pressure, so I
suggest that we announce the freeze this Friday (29. August).
Depending on Martin and Rory's status, of course. (Also I need to fix
the monit.pod and other doc, but it should be ready to Friday).

Agree?

Ps. Christian, do you have time to check out the line number bug in l.l?
