Now.  See below.

No.  I think it is at least 3 months away. So I think this would be an ideal
time to commit if you are willing to work until the release to make sure
your new code is well integrated with the rest of PLplot.  The only informal
rule we have is please don't knowingly break CVS head for more than the time
it takes to make all your commits. If you do break it for some combination
of circumstances you haven't tested (like I just did, :-)), move fast to fix
the problem when it is brought to your attention.
