More that the process begins. It is at least 3 months between branching and
release, though the third of a series is usually quick.

release in may.

The remark was mainly made because there were some doubts about the
stability etc of the trunk restructuring of dynamic loading of libraries in
the database drivers. Later changes in mysql, sqlite can depend on these.
