That bug report says "[t]he most important change in this release is
recognition of new MasterCard ranges which will be issued starting in
October 2016". Given that (I'd really hope that) the next point release
will be well before October, are any of the other changes sufficiently
urgent to need a -updates release?

I'd be okay with either of those options, having looked at the upstream
diff.
