The ABI freeze is now hard freeze, I would like to avoid any further ABI
changes that are not on this list.

If you have an ABI change please reach and respond to this thread 
immediately with the request.

I would like to spend this week and next fixing any remaining bugs
and doing machine testing.

I have reviewed v2 and I think it should be included in 2.34.

I have just reviewed the final v3 changes so this should go in on Monday.

I have reviewed v8 and I think it should be included in 2.34.

I'll review a v9 for inclusion.

I have reviewed this, and it was committed by HJ on July 9th.

I have reviewed this and requested some changes.

I have reviewed this again and I am discussing the final wording with HJ.

I think this should be included in glibc 2.34 and we will get there.
