We don't need to be sure that we're clear. All we need... or at
least, all I want before uploading the official 2.14.0... is for
one week without *known* Critical bugs.
Of course 2.14.0 will have unknown Critical bugs in it; there's
just no realistic way to avoid that, so we're not even going to
try (other than offering release candidates).

Well, I'm on vacation for most of May, so we're looking at a June
release at the earliest, in any case.
(unless I set up ssh access from outside the university and leave
my computer on, which I'm considering... but it would kind-of suck
to spend my evenings in Paris and Amsterdam crouched over my
laptop, using ssh over a hotel's dodgy wireless network)
