We've got a set of logic bugs to fix before we can release - orthogonal
to the resize and ntsec changes.

cvs access isn't the bottleneck - Max has been doing a great job of
commiting post-review.

The bottleneck is programmer time - someone needs to fix those logic
bugs and submit a patch.

There was a thread on this the last time we got keen about a release :}.

I am really really hoping to flush the patch queue this weekend at least
as far as code reviews goes. (although I may end up asking Max to commit
:}).
