Its not the changes that are going into Emacs that are holding up the release.
Its the requirement that all the items in the file FOR-RELEASE are completed
first. That's Richard's choice, and clearly its his prerogative, but
completion of the list might take a long time. If we fork now then every
change that is considered to be a bug fix will have to be applied to both the
head and the branch and it still won't speed up the release.
