None from me either.


Probably too radical, but do we really need RCs for 7.2

If we are disciplined in terms of limiting any backports to the old stable
line (i.e. 7.2) to pure bugfixing then +1.

I also think that we should officially stop the 7.0 line. I would favour a
policy of oldoldstable (now 7.0) gets one last bugfix release when a new
stable release comes out (7.4). Oldstable (7.2) gets bugfix releases until
it becomes oldoldstable (i.e. when 7.6 or 8 is released).

Concerning the release news: if we have nothing to report in some
subsections should we keep them, but empty (e.g. "Improvements in the
Graphical User Interface" and "Scripting") or should we just delete these
subsections ?


+1 for removing these empty sections. Besides, since it is oldstable, it
will only receive bugfixes, no? No new features.
