  Right, the purpose of a release is to get new features and fixed bugs
out for users. But if we have bugs we want to fix before the release,
then Gnash still isn't ready. I can agree to not adding any 'features'
myself if we want to start working towards a release now.

  Some get 'make check' run on them, but generally I'm just packaging up
master. Most of the distros I build packages for run the testsuite via
buildbot though.

  Future features don't apply to a release in the near term. :-)
