OK, now I understand. :-O We have known failures that are not patched,
hence the desire for a release.
I am a little concerned we are getting into a case where community
members dedicated to this issue are asking for a release, and it is
going into the core black hole, meaning there is no visibility on what
actions core is taking to make a decision. (This is not a criticism,
but rather an observation of how it looks from a non-core-member
perspective.)
