It happens sometimes due to my travel schedule, and based on how "good"
I think this release is.  3.8.1 had a bunch of fixes in it that people
really needed (myself included, it fixed resume on my main travel
laptop), and I'm staring at a bunch more 3.8-stable patches that need to
get queued up, so I did the release a few hours early.

Hope this helps,
