Do you mean you _don't_ plan to release again for a year or two?

You know what Moltke said about plans and contact with the enemy. For
one thing, I think the Linux kernel will move too fast to permit such a
leisurely cadence.

Also, as soon as Bertrand and I can get groff 1.23 out[1], I am hoping
you will, shortly thereafter, migrate to the new `MR` macro.
