I think that the major deciding factor will be Guile 2.0 integration.  If Ian 
is confident that this cannot happen w/in the next couple months (by 
"confident", I mean in light of his own work and work he may be able to farm 
out to others), I think we should work to have a stable release out ASAP (all 
my critical bug fixes are scheduled for pushing soon).  Personally, I don't 
have any plans to change anything major for the next few months - I've more or 
less been coasting on bug fixes since the summer.  I don't mind 0 critical 
problems being a criteria, so long as the window of 0-ness lasts for a decent 
chunk of time (i.e. 1 week).

Alternatively, if Ian sees the light at the end of the tunnel, then it's worth 
making Guile 2.0 integration the main target of 2.16.
