Hm, does this extend to Sky, too? I don't know enough about its status 
to be able to judge whether that makes sense at this point or not.

And I am not sure if all porters can/will react within 2 days. Since 
some of the ports are completely broken right now, it might be a good 
idea to make an exception for them, or specifically encourage them to 
ask you or me for checkin permission.

Also, while there is indeed no reason to branch right now (CVS isn't 
stable enough), I think that that we still should branch right before 
the release. That's the only way we can provide a 0.5.1 bug fix release 
in an orderly fashion (and and the last two times, we always had to 
follow up a release with a bug fix release, so...)


Cheers,
