Re: Autoconf version number after 2.70

Hi all,

I would even say it is "normal" for a quick 2.71 release.
8 years had passed since latest 2.69 release; the eco-system has been 
adapting since then, and some issues are found after the official 2.70 
release.
Keep up the good work Zack, and thanks for your long-awaited 2.70 
release!  I hope Autoconf developement and more regular releases will 
start again.


NB: there are "autoconf-latest" files to update in 
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/ during the release process.
