I agree with Thiemo. Removing dyngen is more important than new TCG host 
support.

Cutting releases is the easy. Making sure the tree is in a suitable state to 
be released is the hard bit.  Releases without good quality control are IMHO 
pointless.

Given the speed of qemu development, I think 3 months is way too short for a 
release cycle.  You may as well just have everyone pull from SVN.
