If we don't even have the resources to fix two bugs in the W32 port before Emacs 22 is released, what makes you think we have the resources to manage our own "subreleases"? These issues are being overblown. There are currently W32 specific issues worthy of delaying a release, of Emacs in general, or of W32 binaries. If there are issues worthy of delaying release, then they belong in FOR-RELEASE. If they are not worthy of delaying release, then they should be in a TODO file somewhere (a general one, or W32 specific depending on the general consensus). Lets not pretend that there is an in between state of FOR-RELEASE.W32.
