Thanks Paul,

I'll call this a off-by-one-week error. I am sorry. At least I know that
when I've got the patch for #930691 it was already too late for an unblock.

I reviewed the policy for stable release updates; while definitely a
deal breaker for some users I'm not sure #930691 qualifies as "a truly
critical functionality problem". Affected users are those using the
GSSAPI + Kerberos authentication.

What's the take of the stable release team here?

Cheers,

Paride
