I know that ;-)

My point is that anybody who *needs* handholding from the upstream project (i.e. not Ævar, but those whom he is trying to help with the suggestion) should not be looking at 'next' during the prerelease freeze. They should be looking at 'master' instead, and that is why I am not spending more than minimum cycles of my own worrying about 'next' during the prerelease.

In any case, I think the final is ready to go, almost. I still need to do the preformatted docs, though.
