Next 1.6 release?

I'd like to be a little selfish and wonder if it would be useful to
release a
1.6.7 version faster than normal. (Especially since the release schedule
may be affected by the amount of holiday time near the end of the year.)

We are really getting hurt by the external problems that were fixed in
r40152
and merged into 1.6.x in r40219. Without this change we can't move a
large
number of our users from 1.5, and I would rather not be forced to compile
custom patched versions for all the clients we use.
(command line x 4 platforms, TortoiseSVN, Subclipse)

Looking at STATUS, there are some other things already nominated (but need
votes!!!) that also seem useful:

* Fix for #3432
* Win 7 exception handler support
* Fix for #3489
* Win32 performance improvements
* future-proof patch
* Fix for #3519

I don't see it nominated, but the svn+ssh changes for windows may also
fix some server resource problems others were seeing (We don't use
svn+ssh,
so I can't comment.)

Is it too soon to be talking about this?

Thanks!
Kevin R.
