It depends mostly on how fast we can get current important bugs out and
check that various packages work (don't want a repeat of the redhat mess of
0.88.1 that's still haunting us).  It's definitely not days, hopefully
weeks, months only if more bugs keep coming up.  That's as definite as I
will get for now.
