Hmmm ... don't think I agree. The donation of eRServer is our "sexiest"
feature for 7.4, and one of 3-4 items to make the press pay attention to the
release.

Also, if we send two releases within 2 weeks of each other,
1) Most reporters won't read them both, and
2) we won't get both of them together in time.

But I'm willing to be persuaded, especially if you/somebody has text prepared
for a release around eRServer that will go out this week.
