With respect, I disagree.

There were 6 items I wanted to see fixed in the next release:
  1. All important build problems.
  2. Most issues marked "Important" in the bug tracker:
     #46756
     #50910
     #50920
     #51027
  3. #54809

Among these, 1. and #50910 are fixed.

The other 4 issues need to be fixed as well. I am currently working on
#51027 and #54809.

If, for some reason, I stop pushing commits for a longer time, please
make a release. If not, you can assume that it will not take too long
until the remaining 4 issues are fixed; then it would be good to make a
release.

I agree that it would be nice to fix this, because it has been reported
as an important issue by several people. But I don't know how complex
it is (haven't looked). Maybe it is simple after all?
