glibc 2.24 --- Starting soft/slush freeze discussion

[Adhemerval Zanella]

Hi all,

As stated in a previous messages the idea is to start soft/slushy freeze mode
tomorrow July 1st.  There were some discussion about delay it for a week [1],
but I see no compelling reasons to do so.  As stated by Torvald, the new 
rwlock implementation will take some  more days and he also made no promises.
The tunables is something I think we would like to add, but I think we can
either drop it again for new release or continue the discussion based on
IFUNC enable/disable [2].

I will spend some time tomorrow compiling the release blockers for 2.24, so
please use this thread as placeholder to discuss them.  I would like to
have them defined by the end of tomorrow.

Documentation changes and bug fixes are OK.
