Thanks Paul, I'll call this a off-by-one-week error. I am sorry. At least I know that when I've got the patch for #930691 it was already too late for an unblock. I reviewed the policy for stable release updates; while definitely a deal breaker for some users I'm not sure #930691 qualifies as "a truly critical functionality problem". Affected users are those using the GSSAPI + Kerberos authentication. What's the take of the stable release team here? Cheers, Paride
