No objections from me.  However I do have a bunch of fairly innocent
updates in my queue, such as SQLite, Glib and CMake.  It's also tempting
to get rid of that Perl graft.  Is it too late for such changes?

Hydra will be busy for a couple of days with 'master' and 'staging', so
there's little use in starting it immediately.
