Just curious: is there a technical reason we couldn't spin an -rc5 today
(with just the fix to this issue), and slip the schedule only by two
days instead of a full week? And/or shorten the time for testing -rc5
from the usual 7 days into 5?
I don't know what other constraints we have to play with, so feel free
to tell me that my idea is not feasible. Also, while I'm a block layer
contributor, I'm not one of its co-maintainers, so I'd trust the replies
from others a bit more than mine when deciding what to do here.
