I think the assumption that the PHP_4_0_7 branch is "pretty stable" and "pretty much ready to go" is the key here. How do you know? I think it is up to the QA team to tell us if this is the case. From what I can see, I don't think this is so.

I think you are clinging to a couple of bug reports. We *always* have open bug reports when we make a release. I'm pretty sure that PHP_4_0_7 is stabler than HEAD because of some of the changes in file-upload and some other key places, so I don't think the fact that the branch has 1-2 bugs which HEAD doesn't have means that it is less stable. I think that if we can fix the 1-2 show stoppers that are still in the PHP_4_0_7 branch we should release ASAP. In my opinion the main issue is to get the $_POST[] change out to the public quickly. It is one of the only critical changes. We can start the 4.2.0 branch ASAP but judging from the past it'll take *at least* 2 months to get it stable. I don't want to have to wait that long to get a $_POST[] version out there. In any case, if people decide they want to go with HEAD we should branch right away and not the release linger. Andi
