Two issues in my mind,

I raised some questions on new record Python bindings,
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-03/msg00023.html
There is not test fail or regression, but it is about python api,
which can't be changed after they are released.  I want to make
them more general, they are too btrace specific so far.  This should
be done by release, IMO.

Current GDB mainline failed to build with old python, and Tim
posted a patch https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-02/msg00712.html
 I requested Tim to add test case.

I'll go to Linaro Connect next week.  I still check emails, but should
be less active.  I'll take some days off afterwards and back to work
on March 16th.  Then, I'll seriously start pre-release tests for ARM
and AArch64, and fix bugs if any.
