I tend to refuse to care.  It is already a lot of work and things are
already slowing down and delaying the process.  2.2r3 was "about ready"
for at least one month, that's sick.  Please read the announcement
made for any pointrelease.  If possible build cd images from it.
If not, bad luck.  If you want to have images ready by the time the
announcement is made, prepare images before (the list of files to be
installed was public before).  Call me rude if you like.
