Hopefully your degree of impatience with reports immediately after release is inversely proportional to the number of reports before release. Given some good pre-release feedback it would be a shame to discourage reports immediately after release :) I'll install and start testing now... Having worked for a commercial software company, I am continuously amazed at how quickly bugs are fixed, feature requests are implemented, and patched versions released by this open source group (this includes Bioconductor and many of the package maintainers). No commercial vendor that I know of can or will match this response.

Some very minor things: - typo R-admin manual, section 2.8, fourth sentence beginning "This will find build...", should read "This will build..."? - typo in src/library/compiler/man/compile.Rd, line 35: "\item{ascii}{logical; should the compiled file be saved with in ascii" should read "...saved in ascii..."? My build and test was successful (on a very common platform x86-64/Ubuntu).
