I'd like to start things moving for a 1.6.0 release.

As David and I talked about, this will be significant in at least a
couple ways.  It will be the first "stable" release of the long under
development 1.5 branch (14+ years!).  Additionally, we will be moving
away from the odd/even release numbering scheme.

There are a few more things I want to finish up (the -E patch
improvements and reviewing outstanding patches), so I propose the
following schedule:
  - 3/19 last day for non-bugfix commits.  translation strings frozen.
  - 3/20 notify translators.
  - 4/2 create rc tarball.
  - 4/4 release.
Comments welcome.

If you haven't tried out hg tip in a while, now would be a good time to
start testing it.

As an aside, I know there was some vocal support for getting the trash
patch(es) included.  I've been taking a look at them, and am going to
spend some more time on them the next week.  At this point I'm leaning
towards not including them in 1.6.0.  However I do agree the
functionality is useful, so even if they don't make it in for this
release, please be assured I have not given up on them.
