During the period I would like to ask the committers to only process bug fixes (and only reasonably simple ones) and release-related stuff like Makefile issues, doc fixes, typos etc. Please also check the issue tracker if you want to help fix a small issue, there is also documentation stuff that needs to be done. This will give me the breezing space to put together the 7.01 release. Of course, in a git environment, this does not at all mean that development has to stop - it only means that new features will not be merged into master during that period. One the 18th, I would like to release 7.01 and shortly thereafter install it into the Emacs repository. Thanks a bunch. - Carsten P.S. Eric and Dan, please decide yourself how to get to a good and stable state in this time frame, babel integration is by far the biggest thing in this release.
