I know it's a little late in the day. . .

We now have the docs sufficiently tied in to the release mechanism that
I need to lay down a CVS tag first.  Has anyone got anything specifically
urgent that they want committed?

I'll clear my schedule for the 19th, and apply any PRs that are no-brainers.
Then I'll lay down the tag for the release.  I'm spending most of the 20th
in the air, so won't get the chance to do anything then.
