[VOTE] should we release eml-2.0.0 now?

[Matt Jones]

Yeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaa!

The EML release vote passed unanimously, with all members voting except 
  Ramsey, as of 5pm PST.  Chad and I will package up the release and 
post it on the web ASAP.  I'll send an email announcement to various 
lists when it is ready for download.
