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. I've offered in the past to dust off my release manager cap and do a 2.3.6 release. Having not done one in a long while, the most daunting part for me is getting the website updated, since I have none of those tools installed.

I'm I the only one who feels that the website is a big workflow problem?
