If you as maintainer are confident that 4.31 represents a bugfix-only
release, I don't see any reason to be concerned if you aren't.

Does the version of the exim4 package currently in testing have any
bugs in it that you would be uncomfortable with if you had to support
that version for (let's say worst case) a 2-year stable cycle?  If not,
the worst that can happen is 4.31 has a new RC bug and doesn't make the
cut.
