Why should we have reached the end? 2.7 should be supported as long as 
needed (I think at least for one further year) until 2.8 will be widely 
adopted (whatever that means). This means for me I will make releases as 
soon as their is a significant number of fixes or in case of important 
security fixes.

No further untested fixes or whatever are acceptable for 2.8.1. Please 
commit your fixes after the release tomorrow.
