Quite.  So, here's a new thread.

MHO is that, although 9.4 has slipped more than any of us would like,
9.5 development launched right on time in August.  So I don't see a
good reason to postpone 9.5 release just because 9.4 has slipped.
I think we should stick to the schedule agreed to in Ottawa last spring.

Comments?
