Thx, some side-effect from the recent system update.

In principle that was the setup for rails 1.5.x:

master => development branch for 1.x
rails2.0 => development branch for 2.0
rails1.5.x => maintenance branch for 1.5.x

What I did as release manager is to pick the bug-fixes from master into 
rails1.5.x and then releasing from there.

This process is even documented our wiki, see
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/rails/index.php?title=Release_Management

(Reminds me that nearly all steps of the last section is automated already and 
I should update the walk-through accordingly.)

Do you vote for releasing all changes (including those for 1880) now as part 
of 1.6.x or keep them in development only and release them at 1.7. only?
