I think we should have at least one more iteration based on 4.6.1 before
we can release from head. At the end it has all kind if problems -
ranging from minor glitches to more serious problems.

The point I am trying to make here is that we have to keep the 4.6.1
branch in good shape by backporting important fixes and features.
