Meh, I knew this would happen. You do one release because no one else wants to
and then you get stuck with the job. Somewhere in the wiki, there is a page
which describes how to do a release (but I cannot find it right now), so this
isn't really rocket science. But I don't mind much if the job stucks to me either.

Alan released 1.9.1 for CVE-2013-2064, so I guess this would rather be 1.9.2.

Also, we have "fix deadlock with xcb_take_socket/return_socket v3" in git and I
think I remember that someone wanted some more testing & making sure that this
commit is good before doing a release.

This makes me wonder if we are in a releasable state at all. I currently have 43
mails in my xcb folder marked as unread (which means "will have to look at this
again"). From the top of my head, there were more synchronization issues
reported by Christian König on which we did not reach any consensus yet. Sadly,
I don't have much time currently.

Also, I just remembered that there is a bug against xcb-xkb:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51295

What's the state of this? Neither of these two issues are fixed AFAIK and I
found those two bugs after looking at the extension for about 10 minutes. I am
not really convinced, but won't complain too loudly...

Cheers,
Uli
