There is the stuff in RELEASE, much of which is gone now as I've
already done it :>, but other than that, if people have important
things that won't take very long, that's fine, but at this point, I
think we need to shift a little more in the direction of "release
early/release often" than trying to make sure everyting is perfect
before doing anything.

To me the key question is "Would a release now be a significant
improvement over the last release (i.e. 1.4)?", and IMO the answer is
a clear and resounding YES.  So I think we should go ahead.
