Perhaps we should have a release at this point, since you are
going to have an hiatus of over a month, and it shall take me some
time to come up to speed? The current status of policy seems to have
fixed some 20-odd bugs, and we have had quite a while since policy
was updated.
I've committed some changes to CVS (minoir typos in the
markup), and I'll add the virtual package list changelog.
