Do you also track bugs?  I'm not sure how, aside from feature completeness, we
decide we're ready for a beta.  For Zope 3, we prioritize bugs as critical
to indicate that they must be resolved before a release.  Is there a similar
process for Zope 2.  I realize that you make a significant contribution
just making the release.  I'm not sure if you are also trying to be the one to
decide (or to manage the decision) to make releases.  We currently have 9
critical Zope 2 bugs.  I don't know if that has the same significane as
for Zope 3.
