Yes, that looks good.

Although it is always a goal to reduce the number of open bug reports, 
for this and future releases I would like to avoid the rush to rapidly 
fix all bugs at the last minute before the release.  Doing that just 
seems to introduce instability and causes further delay.  Instead, I 
think it would be better to just aim for a release sometime in January 
and then follow up with a bug fix release a month or two later.
