OK. You probably noticed I pushed few additional bug fixes more to
mike branch, and I leave it to you whether to take or leave.

Bugs happen, so it's the question how do we handle them.

Perhaps making one rc (Release Candidate), or few in bad case, could
ease up bug hunt before final release. For the v3.3.3 we're already
late to do that. The second thing I can think of is to clean up bug
queue. I would find it intuitive that before release there is nothing
open in

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=procps;dist=unstable

Could be reasonable to get the v3.3.3 out, and soon after (in
two-three weeks) v3.3.4 which is about dealing every single bug out we
can find?
