Probably does not matter too much. I currently don't know what number we
are at not, I just compile && make install and everything works fine ;-)

I think all of them. And maintainers should make the tarballs to avoid
overwhelming any particular one with the release process.

No is fine. Binaries will pop up by themselves, most probably not
contributed but distributed from other sites. But if binaries are
contributed, we could include them as well. The development team should
not divert attention to binary creation especially since there are so
few of us with so little time to spare.

It would be nice.

No particular date, rather as soon as Olivier and Benny and Tobias and
Danny get in touch and nod.

Afirmative.
