Since we're way behind schedule for the release anyway, I'd prefer it if we
can postpone the branch until Wednesday. By then, I should have merged the
latest Wine release. If not, branch anyway Wednesday. Then a week feature
freeze, until 23 March. A few days code freeze and release in the weekend
26/27 March. How does that sound to everyone?

AbiWord 2.0.5 still works, but the latest version (2.2.something) doesn't.
