Jody is right, we did not do it and we should.
One of our release rules is that each stable release of GeoServer must
be preceded by a corresponding GeoTools release, so in order to release
GeoServer 1.6.3 we either have to:
* make sure no change in geotools occurred that affects GeoServer, and
   thus we can still use the old gt2 release (very unlikely usually,
   given that most bugs we fix for geoserver do really require a fix
   in geotools, and sure for this release, since Gabriel has been doing
   massive changes in the arcsde module that we need)
* a week before, issue a warning to geotools devel telling people
   that we'll need to cut a release and out of which branch, basically
   issuing the same warning as you did on geoserver-devel for geoserver
   (if you have to commit anything, do it now or wait for the
    next release).

I'm going to send the mail to gt2-devel now, but it's late, so
we may well expect people asking us to wait some more in order
to let them finish their business

Cheers

Ah, one thing. The good procedure is not to release 2.4.x and then
start releasing 1.6.x... that is, it's not unless you want to make
the gt2 release twice.

The first time I did the release, I first released gt2, and then
started doing cite tests that showed a failure, which needed a fix
in gt2. So I had to re-release it (pain!).

The procedure is more like:
* announce freeze on both projects
* build both projects from a clean checkout (no local modifications)
* run the cite tests, make sure we're ok
* release gt2
* release geoserver

Hope this helps
Cheers
