 While I don't think this is necessary for this particular point, I
 think we should have release progress IRC meetings; some kind of
 "release team talks with the various teams" meeting:
 - status reports (difficulties, progress)
 - room for discussion of particular problems, for discussing some
   issues and perhaps come with an action plan to solve them or come to
   a decision
 - risk assessment for the date of the release, or the release goals, or
   the pet release goals

 Perhaps we need more intermediate milestones, which is something which
 seems to be lacking in some areas (no goals for each milestone, no
 coordination or reports from teams for intermediate steps, very few
 intermediate steps: d-i RC1 and RC2 were quite late in the cycle)

 What do you think?
