Hi Even,

Also, it is rarely ever discussed but I find that releases occurring 
near the timing of other projects in the family can be helpful for all 
(users, packagers, developers): MapServer release will be around the 
week of the 15th also, so a Nov 20th GDAL release would be great.  This 
can't always happen, but when it does it is sure nice.  -jeff
