I thought about that, but I decided that it's not a good idea.
I made bad experiences with hasty reactions and that's why I am going to
avoid them when possible.
Additionally, there are some pending patches that can be included when 
the release will be delayed. 
Last but not least, it's too late to start the release machinery for
today, I am sorry!

Cheers,
Karolin
