Approx. 1 week after the ITP deadline, plus a few more days maybe.  In 
these remaining weeks, the priority for me is to sort out issues of the 
release candidates.

As I've told Larry already privately, I welcome his initiative, and 
already suggested to think about the 
http://isabelle.in.tum.de/overview.html slot instead of the README.  Thus 
the content can be finalized after the release, even updated occasionally 
until the next release.

I don't plan substantial changes, just sorting out oddities that can be 
sorted out, without endangering the system integrity in the last moment.
