I think the schedule is reasonable.  We are going to need significant help
getting through our backlog of PRs.  At the very least, we need to identify
which ones are release critical or not.

Just as a note, I don't know whether or not we want to have my axes.py
refactor included in this release or not.  If most of my attention is going
to be on the documentation and PR push, it is extremely unlikely I am going
to get much further with it in the next couple of months.
