I think many of us are in agreement, before RC6 I propose we only check
in critical work on the release branch, and get some time in to
thoroughly test RC5.  Non-critical fixes can wait until after 1.1.  I
personally would like a week to test RC5.  I feel like we had forgotten
what the E in OFED stands for, if we have to slip the release schedule
to make this code really stable I'm in favor of it.
