It wouldn't surprise me. There are currently 900 packages waiting for a
fixed glibc (although they may be waiting for other things too, so take
that figure with a pinch of salt).
If aj decides to restart the testing scripts (he commented that there
wasn't much point at the moment since glibc was stuck), a few
documentation updates or updates to packages based on certain scripting
languages might make it through, but that's about it.
