That is penny pinching of the worst possible kind.

There's no suggestion of abandoning the larger 5.10.x release. This doesn't
even change it, except perhaps bumping the version number but David Golden had
a nice work around for that with 5.10.0.1. We can work in parallel.
Even better, by having a quick release where all the work is release
administration (as opposed to technical C work) done by a non-pumpking it
FORCES us to formalize the release process allowing for a faster 5.10.1 release.
