I agree with Simon that the current code base is quite stable and can be used 
for the release version, but Torsten's argument regarding docs/icons makes 
sense. We can use the extra time for fixing crashes that may still appear, 
but IMHO it's important to give KDE a more professional look and if one more 
week is enough to achieve that goal I'd suggest to wait one more week indeed.

If, however, one more week doesn't make too much difference for the docs and 
the icons, I'd put out 2.1 on the 12th and don't delay the release.

Just my two cents.
