bzr 2.2.2 this Thursday?

[Martin Pool]

Hi,

This week will be about nine weeks after the bzr 2.2.1 release, and
there have been several useful improvements landed to that branch, for
both bzr itself and for qbzr and plugins. (For instance,
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr-explorer/+bug/634240> "Initializing
colocated branch fails with "set_reference() takes exactly 4
arguments"" seems to hit a few people.)

We had this pencilled in for last week.

I think this release now has all blockers removed to running the full
test suite during both Ubuntu package build and installation testing,
which would be nice for our SRU process.

Previous releases from each series:

2.3b3   2010-11-05
2.2.1    2010-09-17
2.1.3    2010-09-16
2.0.6    2010-09-16

There was a sizable thread "Releases planning", in October, in which
Max asserted that 2.0 was of little interest at this time.  2.1 has
only one end-user interesting fix, which is for
<http://pad.lv/558343>, accessing lp: urls through an http proxy, but
that is a fairly commonly-hit bug.  For 2.3 we plan to do the next
beta in the first week of December.

Therefore I think we should do 2.2.2 now, and we should probably also do 2.1.4.

The timeline would then be: code freeze this Thursday (25th); announce
next Tuesday (30th).

Questions:

* any assertions that 2.1.4 is either worthwhile or not
* anything, particularly in plugins, we need to do before making 2.2.2
and 2.1.4?
* Vincent, are you still happy to be RM?
