Yes, but only bug fixes for critical bugs are allowed.

Hopefully they are not, because we hopefully have fixed some bugs in the
meanwhile ;)

The flux is really minor now. Hamm is pretty stable since half a year, but
we are pretty pedantic. There are still two or three dozens bugs known, and
we want to fix them.

As soon as all release critical and important bugs are fixed or the packages
with bugs have been removed (only possible with optional packages).
