[development] Drupal 7 "When it's Ready"

[Tao Starbow]

How about, no release until "0 critical bugs, drupal.org is upgraded, 
and 5 of the top 10 modules on http://drupal.org/project/usage are 
upgraded"?

Of course, what you really want is for that metric to be met earlier in 
the cycle, so that some of the experience gained by upgrading drupal.org 
and the module can actually inform core.
