It IS getting closer, the issue list is pretty small by now, and we need to figure out which of the remaining 'big' features that are left are going to be tackled for this. I'm very tempted to stop soon and put it out there for feedback, and put anything else in the next patch (along with the patches to this patch.) This patch has been far too ambitious, even if there is some really good stuff in there from the wishlist.

Then there's the packaging and polish. Also translating the release notes from Ralphish to English. That took way longer than I expected last time, I think it took over a month just for that piece.
