Silence means consent.

For you, when would be a good time to branch? I suppose it depends
on your personal schedule to do the 2.24 release.

For what it's worth, if you are talking about !1652 (texinfo.tex
update) and !1648 (extractpdfmark workaround), I agree with you
on those.

Not really. I've just flushed my queue of mini-features because
I've equally experienced tiredness. Investigating #6432 (the critical
regression with weird lyric skylines, fixed in !1645) exhausted

is potentially the commit that cost me the most hours of debugging
per line of diff ever ...
