This is postponed until after the release.

All of this is OK, except LibreOffice.

There are still some left, notably newly introduced ones. :-)
For those I’ve just reopened core-updates with the intent of freezing it
in a couple of days or so. The changes should be limited to:
1. ld-wrapper bugs fixed (just pushed);
2. libstdc++ not having libgcc_s in its RUNPATH (bug #20358);
3. #:validate-runpath? turned on by default for all the build systems
(currently it’s only gnu-build-system); more broken packages will
become apparent as a result;
4. libc’s own message catalogs are installed (just pushed).
I think Eric has a small Perl patch that would be welcome, but that’s
about it.
Thoughts?
Ludo’.
