It's going to happen, but I have no access. John is just waiting
whether all the regular builders can build this release. I
pre-announced the release two weeks ago, but perhaps I should have
made a second "last call".
Perhaps I could do with a list of regular builders. I would wait for
all of them to report a successful build from the archive, and then
make the official tarballs.
