Thanks!

I've reopened the trunk for general development.
VERSION says our next release is going to be "2.5", but
that's just by default. If we have a good reason for
calling the next release "3.0" we can do that...
(Otherwise I suspect I'll go for 3.0 as the next one
after 2.9.)

Post-mortem type stuff:

There was at least one patch I would have put into 2.4
but I didn't spot it on the list when I was looking around
for things to put in before tagging rc4. It would be helpful
to me I think if we had a single list of "(potentially)
release critical issues". I'm thinking just a bulleted
list on the wiki Planning page for the release, which
people can add things to and annotate to indicate if
there's a patch on list, if the patch is in somebody's
tree for a pending pullreq, etc.
(Yes, this is arguably a cheesy substitute for our
not using a bug tracking system we could tag bugs as
rc-worthy in...but I think it should be workable and
fairly low-effort.)
