You knew it already, but just to make sure ...
- No new feature checkins
- Object patches are fine
- Tests, bug fixes, docu updates, and such are more then welcome

Release date is still considered to be Feb, 29th.
*If* objects need some more days to settle, release will be on Feb, 30th
(that is the date, when objects are usable ;)

WRT release name: Piers has proposed "The Leaping Kakapo" (whatever that
is:) We could also name it "The Leaping Aoudad".

A Kakapo is a flightless night parrot: http://www.kakapo.net/en/. So leaping
Kakapo does make a kind of sense. "kaka" is the Maori word for parrot. Po
must be Maori for night. The mountain kaka is carnivorous. It has been known
to attack and kill lambs and pigs.

Kakapo is also a combination of kaka and pooh. -Which are words loaded with
other meanings... In American English (at least), "kaka" is childish slang
for shit as is "poo".
