What you think is a quick, 5 min job, is actualy 2-3 days of work,
if you get all relevant people together in time. Not including
the time needed to fix known issues, updating all translations
and stopping the addition of experimental features.

Roberto, who normaly managed the whole release process, is currently
too busy to do it, and nobody else felt the urge to invest
a lot of time into it.

If you feel like you need a new release, why don't you try
to cooridinate everything and get a release ready?
