Actually there is a reason. This release is timed to meet the OSGeo Live
feature freeze to ensure that 2.4 makes it onto the version for Foss4g.
That includes the version given to attendees and used in some workshops.

That said, while the freeze is the end of this month, as long as the
release is out in early July we should have no issue getting it in.
So yes please take another week to fix more bugs, but hopefully not much
beyond that.

For the record, previous Foss4g version ended up with 1.8 instead of 2.0
which is what we're trying to avoid this time around.

Thanks,
Alex
