So:

   * isabelle-users (not isabelle-dev) is discussing problems and potential
     last-minute amendments of release candidates for the final
     Isabelle2013-1

   * isabelle-dev is in post release mode (after Isabelle2013-1), like the
     main repository.

I am myself not following the latter until the final release is launched 
at the beginning of November. We have a genuine non-linear history until 
it is merged back, and "the" latest version does not make any sense in 
emails to me in the coming weeks.

Since I am on vacation from 17-Oct to 04-Nov, I will be really absent from 
"the" repository and the corresponding isabelle-dev mailing list.

It is important to point out to me explicitly, if there are serious 
problems that need to be reconsidered for the release of Isabelle2013-1. 
The first question to ask if it is newly introduced after Isabelle2013 or 
was there already before.  The second question if a change is more likely 
to improve the situation than causing last-minute problems.
