We can't just postpone a release every time we're slipping the deadline.
Sure, we're slipping badly, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't make an
effort to close this chapter now. AFAIK there are only three critical
Zope 3.3 bugs. What we need is a bug day and everyone (incl. me) getting
off their butts and fix those bugs.

If you ask me, the slipping of the Zope 3 June release is mostly due to
the lack of a release manager. If we had a release manager who'd kick
people's asses, we might have more betas since the first one and we
might even have a final release.

Let's have a bug day this Friday.
