Yeah, well, sorry, but those were packaging issues. If you wanted us to test
the packaging, you should have created those RCs say 1 week before the
release date.

Having been a release/build manager for some contracts, I know that having
those kind of issues at release date would have got me fired on the spot.

This one was a minor (non-functional). Objectively, we shouldn't even have
fixed it for the release. The problem is there since the beginning of the
yahoo maps, say 3/4 months, and has never been reported before. I guess we
don't have that much Australian nor American users.

There are probably dozen of other hidden bugs which will pop-up with some
seldom used combination. It's just because we were late that we could fix
it, as it was reported after the planned release date.

IMHO, it's post-justification.
Sorry for the ramble, but I hate missing deadlines, and a 4 weeks freeze for
a 0.x (or 0.0.x) seems a bit overkill to me ;-)

Whatever.... We are there now. Great!
I will create the 0.11-fixes branch.
