-There are a few last-minute fix-up topics in flight, which I'll be
-merging to 'next' and then down to 'master' soonish, before rc2.
-They are marked as "Will merge to 'next' and then to 'master'" in
-this report; please raise hand if some of them are not ready or
-appropriate, to stop me before too late.
+We have a handful of topics in 'next', but as far as I can tell,
+there is not anything that is so urgent and needs to go in the
+upcoming release. Hence the upcoming 2.23 release would hopefully
+be pretty much the same as the tip of the 'master' as of today.
+
+Unless we find something else that is glaringly wrong there in the
+next few days, that is. But in such a case it is likely we'd need
+to delay the release to deal with the issue. Let's hope there isn't
+such a serious regression.
