Well, I tend to forget things like this, so if I'm not voting for 2 days
consider my vote a yea.
But yes, it would be a good thing to know in advance when you plan to
make a new release.
On the other hand I think that you make releases often, so if something
doesn't gets in a release it will be probably in in next weekends release.
So, while we are in beta and you make frequent releases the most convenient
way (for me at least :-)) it would be:

You notify us on the list that you plan to make a release in a few days.
If no response comes back you make the releas as planned.
If someone has some addition, some concern it replies and we can talk about
it further.

Although it's not a vote per se, if you have some concern about the
