Yes.  Unfortunately we're going to need to do a quick 2.7.3 release
now to patch a remote crash bug in oscar.  We'd intended to fix this
in a release from im.pidgin.pidgin, with a full string freeze and
translation cycle, but one of the packagers disclosed the bug early,
so it's public now, so we want to do a release earlier than August
5th.  We'll probably do a more complete 2.7.4 release not too long
after this, and that's when we should merge your changes in.

Does that sound ok to everyone?
