The end of the release cycle is really the peak. When a full cycle's worth of work and efforts are combined into a fresh tarball that is sent out into the cold harsh real world with the ideal outcome that everything just keeps on working exactly like before, ideally a little better.
The night before a release we believe this is the best we ever did. Every time we think this. Who knows what we will think tomorrow at this time.
Thanks for flying #curl. It's an adventure and honor to pilot this.
