We can swap out individual features as things are finalized. The
feature part of the release actually requires less work than some of the
other parts.
Historically, it's taken about a month to compose the release and a
month or more to translate it. So we can't wait until the beginning of
August to start in case we have a short beta.

Yes -- volunteers? Anyone? I have some figures from Sun but I'm not
sure I can publish them.

Oh, right.
