I would prefer to have core-updates in the next release.  This has been
delayed for much too long.  This would also avoid the bad look for a new
release to have somewhat outdated core packages.

If we can’t get core-updates ready within the next few weeks I won’t
object to a release without it, but I think we should really try.
