So, let's see...

The release process was officially kicked off on May 6.  The release
process lasts 8 weeks.  That means that NetBSD 1.2 was released about
a month and a half ago...  didn't you notice?!  8-)



In all seriousness, I have _NO_ idea.  I've not heard _anything_ about
the status of the release process since i got back from my vacation
(and my return occurred in the first week of this month).


Do I think it's absolutely ridiculous to keep users completely
uninformed about the release process?

	YES.

Do I think it's absolutely ridiculous to keep _DEVELOPERS_ completely
uninformed about the release process?

	YES.

Do I think it's ridiculous to keep the 'trunk' locked up during the
duration of the release process for this long?

	YES.

Do I think it's sad that the release process is this long when
there will be features in -current immediately after 1.2 is released,
which will make the "stable" 1.2 release immediately obsolete for
some classes of users?

	YES.
