Yes, I fixed it, but I do more and more things at every release.

* Regression testing
* Randomconfig runs
* Writing up the announcement
* Creating branches and tags in svn
* Fix up defconfig
* whitespace fixes
* etc

And I noticed that I started to hate making releases.

Which is bad. Releases is what keeps project alive.

By making releases more and more thorough, the quality might increase,
but I do not want to reach a point when every release requires
me to spend a week checking and preparing it.

Please do not nag me to create directories which are empty anyway.
I will create them when and if they will be needed.
