Hmm ... there's some ambiguity about how you feel about this Daniel.
Any chance you can tell us how you really feel? :)

Id be more than happy to make it 1.9.6, but I am about to try a build
with 1.10, I'll keep you posted.

I think mandating a standard environment for releasing tarballs is
the key though. At whatever point we settle on that environment,
it may be worth spinning all the tarballs that don't conform, so
that we get everything on an even footing, at least once.
