Meet your release manager

This is a just a quick note that I will be the 2.7/3.1 release manager. I'm not that worried yet; we still have to get 3.0 out! However, I am brainstorming possible schedules. I'd like to release 2.x and 3.x at about the same time, but in a much shorter release cycle than we become accustom to (1 to 1.5 years back from 2.5). The focus of the next releases will be bringing much needed stability to 3.x and binding 2.x closer to its newer sibling.
