What's the 2.7.4 eta?

It looks like a 2.7.4 release is brewing.  I have fixed many bugs in
trunk since 2.7.3 was released, but I have not backported any of these
patches.  I have many many irons in the scala fire and I don't use
anything but trunk, so I have no personal incentive to bundle any fixes
into 2.7.4 -- especially since the one absolute requirement is "don't
break anything" and ensuring that requires nontrivial effort for all but
the most trivial patches.

However, if there are any among you for whom the inclusion of a specific
fix in 2.7.4 is a blocked-or-not-blocked matter, I would like to
accomodate you if I can.  Thus this email.  So let me know if there is.
Soon, as we're all on fairly short notice.

Thanks,
