I think that a release right before 0.3 would be good to have enough
testing (at least 2 months) and freeze it for a while only correcting
bugs. And of course follow the right secuence of alpha beta release
candidate and release with enought time. Because I think the process
takes very little time for ROS when it happens. Well a branch could be
a possibility too.
