If you don't see a problem with that, I'm going to suggest this on a
separate thread (it's too buried here to receive proper attention).
This is a good idea in general and a trivial point to add to the release
process. Do you intend to propose this as a full replacement for point
releases (i.e. never do it) or just an added convenience for those who
don't care for point releases or a fallback for when the release manager
(or one of the package signers, i.e. Carlos, Joseph, me, etc.) does not
want to spend time on a point release?
I think it's a sufficient replacement for point releases, but I suppose
others will disagree.
Well, I won't re-hash the explanations I expressed, but I'll just state
that a point-release would be better, IMHO. It is not necessary to put
out tarballs, though; a tag would be enough.
