I see I missed the fact that:
* malloc: Remove malloc_get_state, malloc_set_state
Remains on the blocker list.
I think this needs to be deferred to 2.25 at the open of the branch.
The primary reason here is that we should be changing ABI in the freeze.
If you agree, is there anything else blocking 2.24 being cut today?
