Re: Revert coreutils 9.1 to test 8.32 to curr stable

[Brian Inglis <Brian.Inglis@SystematicSw.ab.ca>]

Uploading
x86{,_64}/release/coreutils{,/coreutils-debuginfo}/{override.hint,!ready}
with override.hint contents "replace-versions: 9.1-1"
seems to have done the trick.

Is there some convention for announcing the reversion?
