This seems to be the general feeling I'm getting from folks. Here's
my proposal:
Roll rc4 this weekend (or as soon as the backport is merged) and run
that on svn.apache.org to satisfy the concerns of those wanting more
testing.
When we are satisfied, I'll cut the final release from the same magic
revision as rc4, to simplify the signing procedure. This may be a
week or two after rc4 is released.
I realize there are other bugs in the software. There are *always*
other bugs in the software. The existence of low-impact bugs, known
or unknown, shouldn't preclude our continuing on the 1.7 release
cycle. We can still fix them in the future.
