As Martin said - I plan a 2.3.4 release for May. There's a couple of crashing bugs that Zope3 found back at the start of the year that have been fixed, and I've not seen any new ones crop up since then, so I'm happy that I'm not going to be cutting a release-of-the-month because Zope3 found Yet Another Weird Weakref Interaction (YAWWI).

But, at the end of the day, if anyone else really really wants to do the release earlier, and is willing and able to do it, I'm more than happy to let them do it.

If I volunteer to do the release, would there be any objections to targeting late May or early June for the first alpha?
