Actually, the 'splitting' and 'tagging' are one and the same, and
it will be tagged the moment I roll the release tar ball...that is

the branch, not a problem, but it is created...

I don't think so...I heard that one after the BETA freeze, and
look at the mess *that* created. If there is a feature freeze for
post-release bugs to be fixed, features are *frozen*, period, end of
