The 72 hours are up. Although some additional bugs have surfaced, as far as I know these aren't regressions, so users are no worse off running 2.5.1, and in many respects it is better than 2.5. Therefore I think we should continue with the release. However, the known bugs section does not mention Bug 51918 and Bug 51919 so we should probably mention those in the announcement. Something like: "Version 2.5 introduced a concurrent download feature for embedded HTML resources. Unfortunately this may result in corrupted downloads or other errors (bugs 51918 and 51919). We will fix these bugs as soon as possible; meanwhile the feature should not be used".
