All that's left now is pptpd (with an offer from Christoph to upload 
when ready) and network-manager-fortisslvpn (with commits fixing the 
issues upstream, but no upstream release).

In the mean time, #1065940 has become a blocker for the time_t 
transition. I think I'd rather upload 2.5.0 and break 
network-manager-fortisslvpn than just the patch to fix the breakage.

Would the release team be happy to continue with this transition?

Thanks,
Chris
