As far as I know, we've done a mass rebuild and we've branched.  FESCo
has closed the Changes.  Beyond that, I don't know what else has
actually started.  Can you elaborate?

Also, while there might be many tasks started, I don't really remember
them having strict time windows.  Pushing out all the dates starting
today seems feasible to me.  Clearly it can be done, because we keep
slipping every release and we still have releases.
