I'm sure bukkit releases should be quicker now they're more involved with Minecraft.... Aren't they?
Well they're official Mojang staff now, and are the ones responsible for the changes in this release (jeb was jetting around doing conference stuff).
Dunno how it will affect things though - might make things quicker, or it might mean they're spending most of their time on Minecraft and leaving less people/time working on Bukkit - but this is the first change since them joining, so I guess we'll see how quickly it happens...
