I had no plans concerning this.  Before GIT we used to just freeze the
source tree, then have the developers merge their patches in after the
release was complete; now that we use GIT we need to give this some
thought.

Right now the consensus from the main developers seems to be that we are
not yet ready, so unfortunately we are not yet able to release R14.0.0
RC1.
