I'd say 1, but on Wednesday next week. Anything that isn't solved until 
monday can rest, so you'll have monday, tuesday and however much of 
wednesday you like to apply any patches that might come in during the 
weekend.

When that's done, keep a track-record of bugs fixed, and when you hit a 
specified number (10? 20?) of fixed bugs just make a new micro-point 
release (i.e. 1.4.1).
