Is it worth holding 2.3.1 until after Panther ships, on the assumption that its release will turn up more users and more bugs? If not, 2.3.1's timing can probably be left up to the release manager, who can make the release whenever he feels like it.

Last month, we worked out a tentantive plan to start the 2.3.1 release process in the third week of September. I think we should stick with that. The initial round of bugfixes is an important step for 2.3 being viewed as stable and to show everyone that development/support has not vanished.

If critical bugs surface later, that can be a consideration for 2.3.2. There is no reason to be stingy with the initial bugfix release.
