Per that policy, there will certainly be at least one more 8.2.x
release, namely the first one "after December 2011". There could be
more than one, if we are pressed into making a set of releases between
now and December.
I don't think we've yet decided what the policy means if a release
happens during the stated calendar month, which seems rather likely
this time around in view of our historical record of doing updates
roughly quarterly. Should we settle that detail now? That is,
does "after December" really mean "in or after December", or did we
really mean "after"?
