The plan (and Stefan agrees) is to spend about the same amount of time
as we did between 22.1 and 22.2.  This would put 23.2 around April next
year.

This bug is pretty serious.  Happily, it only affects the trunk; the
23.1 release is unaffected.

The most likely culprit is the 2009-07-18 change to cc-mode.el, which we
did not apply to the release branch.
