Yeah, I'm afraid it wasn't ;)   I was kind of +0 at that stage
to the idea of a release, so I just left it uncommented-on, and dealt
with the bit I wanted to comment about...

yep, that sucked. ;)

I think I'd be keen to wait about a week... the danger, as Theo noted, is
that we get over-eager to fix the CPAN bug and push out a release quickly,
then *another* serious 3.2.2 bug appears, requiring a fast 3.2.3 in turn!
(This is all standard practice in the early part of every release cycle,
in my experience, btw.)

Maybe if we build a tarball on Friday?  (by we I mean "not I", though,
I've seen enough tarballs last week and have a nursery to paint ;)
