I was waiting for the CVE-2014-6040 fix to land to avoid all
distributions backporting it. With that done, I intend to call a
complete freeze.
My opinion on the -Wundef fixes is that they needed to have been
committed by this point. It has now been two months since the start of
the slushy freeze. I consider the risk/reward ratio too high to commit
them now (even with small risk, the reward is smaller).
Given I can not deal with the release until the weekend, I am happy for
the tilegx fix to land before then.
Unless anyone yells very loudly (and for a good reason...), I intend to
call a freeze on Saturday in order for the release to be made on Monday.
