I still would like to do a release this week (so tomorrow, Friday). We
made good progress on the patch queue. Only 4 are still marked as NEW
and 6 more patches made it in. Please go over the review notes of any
patches you really want to go in before the release. We'll do another
one in 3 months, so don't feel pressured.

I am still looking at the "A scenario where Perf cannot unwind the user
stack by dwarf with libdw.so" patch [1]. It cannot be replicated with
eu-stack, which surprises me, so perf and eu-stack do something
different and I don't yet understand what that is.

Cheers,

Mark
