Indeed, but it would be good to get a few things done before doing the
release. Rough checklist:
* actually passes distcheck
* investigate https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=782100
* browse the bugtracker and hunt for other reports of the same kind,
all build/compilation issues are good candidates for this step
* check if there are any trivial patches waiting to be pushed
* check if there are dead dependencies that can easily be removed
(e.g. not libgnomecanvas which is not trivial but… do we still have
libgda code with an obsolete version?)
* still passes distcheck ☺

It would also be really nice to fix any crasher and save/load issues,
but well if they already are in 0.14.6 blocking on them doesn’t change
much.


Open call: this checklist is not my personal todo list. You can help
with any of the above steps.

This will be 0.14.7.
