Hi Fred,
thanks for a quick reply!
I suspect that's where the difference between soft- and hard-freeze
kicks in, but Yavor can maybe provide some insight in this regard.
If I get the green lights from other maintainers, I can cut releases next week.
If a maintainer wishes me to release and upload anything that is not
included in the usual batch of releases on ftp.gnu.org, let me know
and I can try pushing that out as well.
