It's been a while and we have accumulated quite a few bug fixes in branch-1.6. I'm thinking about cutting 1.6.2 rc this week. Any patches somebody want to get in last minute?
On a related note, I'm thinking about cutting 2.0.0 rc this week too. I looked at the 60 unresolved tickets and almost all of them look like they can be retargeted are are just some doc updates. I'm going to be more aggressive and pushing individual people about resolving those, in case this drags on forever.
