As far as I know, Richard is currently on holidays and being the base 
maintainer he should have a word on this.
I really like all the new features base has been getting, although I am 
not using a compiler that takes advantages of most of these. Before a 
new release we should get more feedback from people using the more 
obscure systems that GNUstep runs on and we also should get rid of the 
compiler warnings from NSRegularExpression and NSThread and then, after 
a short code freeze phase, I think we are ready for a release. Again, 
given that Richard thinks we are.
