[rvm-core] release schedule?

[Filip Pizlo-2]

As far as I can tell, the major blockers have been closed off for the  
3.1 release.

However, I'm currently tooling around with other optimizations and  
lesser bugs, namely in our handling of arraycopy.  The main bug is one  
where a large arraycopy may stall the GC, and the main optimization  
has to do with our inlining strategies for arraycopy.  No promises, on  
the performance I'll be able to get; I'm just experimenting.  I'll  
probably have both the bugfixing and optimizations done in at most a  
week from now, likely much sooner.

So - what's our schedule for release?  Will I be able to fit it in for  
the upcoming release, or would it be better if I targeted the next  
release?

My suggested drop dead date is next Monday (6/8) with the actual release on 6/9.  We want to get it out before PLDI, but a few more days probably doesn't matter at this point.

After this one, I also really want to see us switch back into making smaller releases every 6-8 weeks instead of large releases every 6-8 months...
