I agree with preparing a 3.2 release now.

How confident are we about fixing the interface for the Ref<> class? It 
seems pretty solid, but it would be a shame if we discover in the run-up 
to 3.3 that the need to be backward compatible is holding us back somehow. 
Perhaps it's safer to declare the interface not completely fixed yet?

I started going slowly through the list of open bugs. There are still 
quite some left, though a lot are in fact enhancement requests.

What is the plan with all the bits for supporting the transition from 
Eigen2? While it's not much of a burden, at some point we should get rid 
of it.
