Aleksey,

I think we should be realistic about our release plans.

This work has been ready for two years, etc.  I split it up into all  
the jumbo branches to make it easier to review, but its really quite  
a hassle to keep all these separate versions up to date.  It takes a  
lot of extra effort, because each branch requires some amount of hand- 
editing.  Besides, I am personally interested in releasing it,  
because the ideas are useful, and also because I would like to  
release my work.

I don't think it is realistic to expect you to pre-approve  
everything.  I know you would like to, but it is too much work, and  
the delays are hurting the project.  Let's switch to a realistic  
model, with releases at regular intervals until all the current stuff  
has been made public.

For now, that means releasing keyword+curry as the final stage of the  
0.9.8.x series.  I'll update 0.9.8.x to curry, and we'll release in a  
couple of weeks.

Jason
