Hi folks, We're down to 32 (non-Rust) JIRA issues [1] left in the 5.0.0 scope, so we're close to being release-ready. If you have things you're working on for the release, please get them merged in the next day or so or else bump them out of scope. I think we can plan on cutting rc0 at the beginning of next week. Thanks all for your hard work to get us here.
