1.9.1 release on 15 July, freeze on 10 July

[Andy Wingo]

Hey all,

Awesome release, that! Of course there are still a number of bugs to
write and features to fix before 2.0, so we continue the onward journey
of monthly releases.

I propose that we make the next release on 15 July, to get back onto the
on-the-15th schedule. Let's have a 5-day freeze. That means that any
feature that you want to land has to be in by two weeks from Friday --
if it's not *ready* by 10 July, please hold off until the next release.
It's not that far away anyway.

Objections/concerns welcome. Otherwise, roll on, release train, roll on!

Andy

Me too.  I must say, it surprises me a bit how much attention a
release draws, even though the same code is sitting there in Git the
whole time.  But there's no doubt that they do, so roll on the next
one!

Regards,
        Neil

Grand! Ludovic, if you don't mind, perhaps we can repeat the same
division of labor as last time?

Yes, please.

Speaking of which, I'm not sure what to do regarding `GUILE-VERSION'.
I'm tempted to leave everything as is for the whole 1.9 series because
it's a development series, after all.  What do you think?

Insightful!

Thanks,
