Sounds fine to me.

I think it's worth for a bugfix release soon, seeing:
- last security updates;
- the really annoying bug with the script eating CPU and filling memory
while using Tails offline;
- a bug making MAT hardly usable: "clean (strict)" not working from the
gui (bug already reported upstream);
- probably other recently fixed issued.

Agrees it would be really nice, even if I'm not sure I'll have enough time to
contribute to it.
