I've had a couple of queries about whether PSF-2006-001 merits a 2.3.6. Personally, I lean towards "no" - 2.4 was nearly two years ago now. But I'm open to other opinions - I guess people see the phrase "buffer overrun" and they get scared.

Plus once 2.4.4 final is out next week, I'll have cut 12 releases since March. Assuming a 2.5.1 before March (very likely) that'll be 14 releases in 12 months. 16 releases in 12 months would just about make me go crazy.
