I'm sure it's a pain to keep the code frozen for so long, and I hate to be 
repetitive, but I for one am very glad that the RE team usually does the 
right thing and delays a release when necessary to get it working.
	I guess I'd rather have the last release branch semi-open for bug fixes only.  
I also fully realize:
a) that this could be too much more work than the release branches are 		 			
already.  
b) fixing one bug can cause three more to pop up.

I think the release branches for security the way they are are great anyway.

Thanks Murray and the whole RE team.

Tim
