That should be OK, as long as you release based on the 0.10.0 branch  
(i.e. make your changes both to trunk and the branch). My suggestion  
would be that once you think you are in shape for a release (or  
briefly before), you tell us, and then, depending on the affair of  
things, we either releases this as 0.10.0a (w/o updating the other  
ports), or as 0.10.1, with new builds of the other ports, too (if  
sufficient bug fixes made it to the branch by then).

Cheers,
