[ros-kernel] ReactOS 0.1.5 Feature Freeze

[Jason Filby]

Vizzini

We can do RC1/2 releases - space is not an issue has the files 
themselves are hosted by SourceForge. The only issue might be time 
available to our release engineer - Nick Journals. Perhaps we could
do 
with a backup release engineer - anyone?

Cheers
Jason
