I agree, it would be nice to get Octave 6.1 into the Ubuntu LTS.
But I'm not sure if the remaining 4 weeks are enough to get that ready for
their freeze.
I remember there was a lot of activity after default was merged to stable for
the 5.1 release (ASAN, PVC Analyzer, ...). And there are still a few open bugs
that haven't been worked on yet.
Maybe, it would be safer to leave the current stable branch open for a few
weeks after 5.2 is released to be able to fix some emerging bug that we might
have missed. That way we would have a "really stable" 5.2 (or 5.3 if this
should be necessary) instead of a "rushed" 6.1 for the Ubuntu LTS.
