  Woody is the currently-in-development release.  The official
word is that it will be released "when it's ready".  It will be released
only once, at which point development will start on the next release.

  The release manager originally said that he thought an optimistic
projection for woody's release was "before the end of the year", but it
doesn't look like that will happen just now, as we're still thrashing
out bugs in the new release system :(
