I'll repeat my opinion again:  I believe it is WRONG to keep things
secret until they are released.  True, I have many local trees for
experiments; but I publish them as soon as possible (with their
errors).  That way bugs have chances to be discovered much faster.  If
you look at recent activity on build-improvements, I don't think I
need to cite a particular individual to support the case.
I'm unimpressed by single update consisting of a big patch as a release.
I'm of the opnion that Tim should update the Gold-to-be often.
