Yes, I'll take care of the 1.8.1 release.  I've been following the 
changes and there's nothing that jumps out at me as badness.  Everything 
is in line with what I want for a 1.8.x point release.  The only thing 
that I will probably clean up is the libselinux and libsepol linking 
when using libdevmapper.  I'm thinking about making that conditional 
like I did for libdevmapper.  We need the SELinux libs for Fedora Core 
and RHEL, but I can see other platforms not wanting or needing that.

Here's my current plan:

I'm currently at work and need to push through some bug reports for 
RHEL.  Also get some work done anaconda IPv6 configuration.  I won't 
have time during the day to get 1.8.1 out, but will get on that tonight.

I have a dinner party I have to go to after work, so I'll be getting to 
this late (say 11pm my time).  Just letting everyone know so they don't 
expect me to push the release within an hour or so.

Debarshi: I'll also get 1.8.1 as update releases for Fedora Core 6.

For those who don't know, I'm in the UTC-5 timezone (beautiful snowy and 
cold Massachusetts in the United States).
