This is partly related to pressure, from the UK among others, that the
releases should come no more than every three months, on fixed dates. I
think LCG claimed that the schedule didn't leave them time to certify
the new APEL, and intermediate releases are only supposed to be for
emergencies. We can't have it both ways! Of course, a further
consequence is that people shouldn't be pushing for APEL to be installed
until it has been certified and released on July 1st.
