If you folks think it would help stabilizing the tentative fix, I am
open to the idea of delaying the 2.47 by a few days.  Currently the
2.47-final is scheduled on the 7th (Monday), but we can do 2.47-rc2
on that day instead, and move the final to 10th (Thu) or 11th (Fri)
[*].

Thanks, all, for working together.
