Sorry, I have swapped release and snapshot, which lead to wrong
interpretations of what I've read (ie that ams does not want to make a new
snapshot, but that was about 2 years ago on some site I do not find right
now). Thanks for clearing this out.
No, I do not see a _need_ to make a new one, since not much has
changed. Things would look exactly the same as they do with the
current snapshot.

I am not the one to decide either, but I think a release is possible within
the next 5 (to be pessimistic).
I don't, not even in a 10 year frame to be honest. We said the exact
same thing in 1997 infact, that in 5 years we would have a (as usable
as any GNU/Linux system out there) system, now it is 10 years later.
