I think the date should not be completely fixed. You know the last
version was released with known bugs when patches for thses bugs had been
sent.

I think we will create a stable repo for OpenVZ (Virtuozzo), because
it has own release cycle. Virtuozzo QA found a lot of bugs for last
mounths and we want to get fixes them as soon as possiable.

And the main reason to have a separate report is that
sometimes we can't wait for a few mounth to get features.
