Summary
-------

We entered Stage 2 on July 6th.  I plan to put us into Stage 3 on
September 10th.  At that point, we will accept only bug-fixes -- no
more new features until Stage 1 for GCC 4.4.

Are there any folks out there who have projects for Stage 1 or Stage 2
that they are having trouble getting reviewed?  Any comments
re. timing for Stage 3?

Quality
-------

At this point, we have 194 P3-or-higher regressions open against
4.3.0:

 doit&order=Reuse+same+sort+as+last+time&field0-0-0=noop&type0-0-0=noop&value0-0-0=

I have not yet triaged the many P3 bugs, so I expect that some of
these will be downgraded.  An interesting fact is that now about half
of the 34 P1s re 4.3-only regressions.  So, we have been introducing
some new and exciting bugs, and we need to fix those.  Do we need
another 1-week stabilization period?
