The fact that the release team now sees the light at the end of the
tunnel for the release of sarge means that now is the time we need to
begin planning for etch. Allowing unstable development to pick back up
after a release with no clear plan for the next release has been shown
time and time again to delay the next release by one to two *years*.
The rest follows from that.
