OK, preparing it now for upload, since everybody is happy.

I am not sure when should we upload -2 with the russian doc enabled:


- immediately?  This could be a problem if there are serious bugs with
   the .4-1 release (be it due to internal or external changes) and the
   release with new binary package doesn't allow later versions to
   bypass the queue for emergency fixes (I'm not 100% sure about what
   would happen in this case).

   Can we disable russian doc if there's some "emergency" and bypass
   the queue for a new version?  Does anybody know for sure how to
   achieve that?


- wait for a few days too have more confidence that everything is
   fine, until the .4-1 gets again to testing for example?


I lean towards #2, but would like to have the assurance that we can
use the "eject seat" button if there's something very wrong or if it
spends a lot of time in the queue.


Cheers.
