I'm in favor the "subtractive" approach, with an RC over this weekend, and 1.5.0 7-10 days after that. I think that is a reasonable point on the delay-vs-bugfixes curve. In other words, unless people complain loudly, that's what is going to happen. :) I'll let the community figure out what to subtract, but I think we're almost there already.
Let's try to have all relevant decisions made by Saturday, 10 am PDT.
