:That leads me to a quetion for Matt - Matt, when do you plan to put in tags
:for "stable" or "testing" versions of the source?  If I change the cvsup
:config file, I figure we'd want the tag to point at the stable version of
:the code, not the absolute latest.

    I am going to tag the release (non branch tag), and I'll also create 
    a stable tracking tag (non branch as well) at the same time.

    The current RC1 tag is just temporary, so I can review all the commits
    made since RC1 to figure out what goes into the release.
