B -> X_s gamma after completion of the NLO QCD calculations

Several years ago, Stefan Pokorski, Manfred Muenz and us outlined a program for calculation of the NLO QCD corrections to the weak radiative B meson decay B -> X_s gamma. Very recently, just before the 60th birthday of Stefan Pokorski, this program has been formally completed. In the present paper, we summarize the existing results and discuss perspectives for further improvement of the accuracy of the Standard Model prediction for BR[ B -> X_s gamma].
