Comment 2 for bug 659078

Jamu reports that he's happy to make a release of 0.18 soon. He also asked if we in LP would be willing to help out with releases, and I said I'd be happy to; we may make the 0.18 release ourselves.

That said, bug 620615 is a blocker for LP's usage. If that can't be addressed soon, we'll merge this fix back to our 0.17 branch instead and make a local release.
