Yes, I was about to suggest the same thing.

It is probably too late even to plan much bug-fixing before Familiar 0.7
is shipped. Unless there are bugs of really critical importance, I
think we should just document the remaining issues as known errata in
this release, and plan to fix them in a subsequent version. If
necessary, we can produce a GPE R1.1 and/or Familiar 0.7.1 in fairly
short order.

One thing that we should try to take care of is proper source
availability for the "R1.0" versions of everything. So, everybody,
please check that the version of your application included in Familiar
0.7 is tagged in CVS and has a tarball on the ftp site. If you're using
the usual GPE makefiles, "make tag" and "make dist-upload" will do this
for you in an automated fashion.

Thanks
