  yes I expect Ximian to be able to help fixing the problems which
are popping up at the application level. Time has come to make some
cleanups, when the cleanups will be done then I will accept to make a
1.8.12 release (with whatever stuff is needed to keep everything rolling
at that point).
   If you agree then the road is clearly defined for everybody,
