Thanks,  I have merged them now.  Apologies for the delay.

With this, I have closed the release-notes for content updates (for
planned updates) and translations can start now with less noise.

 * There may still be some English review on going.

 * If there appear any last minute errata of sufficient severity, I may
   still include those.  I hope there will be none, but it is not
   something I can plan for.  There might some brewing related to:
   - xorg libinput driver
   - network (possibly related to net-tools deprecation)

You are welcome. :)

I have put this into release checklist for buster, so I don't have to
pull a last minute plan out of my ... hat.  For one, I am not sure I
made the right trade-offs in this plan (but it was better than not
having a plan).  Secondly, I haven't heard back from Justin yet, so I am
not sure it whether it fits him at all.

Also, it occurs to me that the workflow post-release is somewhat
optimal.  There is no branching / merging flow, so all changes goes live
without translators having a chance to prepare for it.  It is not new,
so I am not going to "rush-fix" it right now.  But it definitely
something we should consider working on for buster.

Thanks,
