Doug,

Thanks for the response.  I understand where your coming from; I had also
thought the release:managed tag was meaningless at this point, but hey -
its a tag so I had planned to apply for it since we meet the criteria
(which as far as I can tell means following the freeze model - everything
else is enforced by the ACL change that happened at the end of Mitaka (or
whenever that was)).

Since it is being removed, we won't apply.

Thanks for helping get to the bottom of this :)

Regards
-steve
