I agree with Kai that we should have a little more forerun.
I was myself uncertain if it would have been too short noticed
to propose wednesday (30 May) or thursday (31 May) next week
for a beta1. Andrew: What do you think?

Regarding the DNS server, I do care too, and find the internal one
incredibly useful. So it should get mentioned. It does not seem
like we will change the default for beta1, but I would strongly
argue to move forward with it and maybe change the default in a
later beta or rc1. Considering the latest mails on the list,
the bind-dlz setup also has its problems. Kai: I would like to go
over what needs to be done for the DNS server with you if we
manage to find a time slot...

Cheers - Michael
