I have checked the regression list daily since something like b3 
- amount of "hard" regressions was steadily going down and many 
of newly added one were trivial and fixed quickly. Last time I 
checked there were only 2-3 really problematic cases (including 
one I have mentioned).

Idea is quite simple - if we are incapable of doing compiler 
release without regressions, we should stop doing compiler 
releases until we learn how to do it. Risk of reputation damage 
we may get with 2.066 costs much more than delaying release even 
for several months. Remember, we are speaking about regressions, 
not even about critical bugs.

I also propose to start 2.067 beta branch right now and declare 
it yet another bug-fixing release.
