Yes, just to clean the branch.

Doing minor releases could be a good idea, since many components didn't
have a real release recently.

Initially, all components releases was independent, so all maintainers
was free to manage their releases and their development as they wish. I
like this idea, but without maintainers, the consequence is a too long
time without release.

I can help to do the job of release manager for some of components.
Martin Bagge / brother done also some work for this, but he needs upload
rights for tarballs. I think it's a good idea, he does a great job on
the translations process :)

Except libfm which should have some units tests, I don't think so.

I'm not aware of any big crasher.
