3.24 release, would be well accepted & special for the family (still <br>
today I receive such kind messages from Sol Katz's family when each new <br>
award announcement happens each year). I would rather give time for <br>
the family to recover, than blasting public messages immediately (but <br>
maybe this is my personal feeling, and, goes against the current <br>
Twitter-post-now beliefs).<br>
