[Mono-dev] Mono 2.6.x

[Andrew Jorgensen]

Just a reminder: If you've been assigned a bug or you know of a bug
that's been fixed and needs to be backported please do so before the end
of this week.  There's a good chance we'll try to release 2.6.3 from the
2.6 branch early next week.  The QA team is still testing this branch
but testing doesn't fix bugs, it can only find them.  Please do your
part.
