Considering that we really care only since we have the buildbots in 
place again, it seems a little silly to me to hold back the release.

Supporting all those architectures would of course be nice, and we 
should certainly strive for cross-platform compatibility. But most 
probably monotone didn't work and hasn't been used much on AIX or Solaris.

Let's go ahead and call it a release!

To much administrative overhead, IMO.
