> As 2.2 release maintainer, I want to get 2.2 RC1 cut and officialized by
> Monday, May 14.
>
> At Dan Scott's suggestion, this is the first of two "last calls" for
> showstopping bugs or other blocking issues.  Speak now.
>
> This is the "pre-tarball" last call.  Input from folks on bugs and
> blockers comes from their experience with the rel_2_2 branch (or alpha
> tarballs).   Around midweek we'll actually produce an rc1 tarball, and the
> second, or "post-tarball" last call should based on bugs and blockers
> witnessed from actually running the code in the tarball.
>
> These are on currently on my radar, to make sure they get addressed before
> I ask Thomas to cut the 2.2 rc1 tarball.
