The most important thing is that CVS works (right?). The release is just something that is formal and not really that important. When things stabilize a bit more and when we are ready to release a GRUB 2 version that is usable for end users we should think about how to release. Perhaps we need a check list or so. Perhaps it is a good idea to send the announcement to info-gnu as well, to attract more developers. -- Marco
