We cannot do that. We'd have to cut a new release and vote on it.
If the goal is to evaluate the release, we need to start voting a
4.0.0, open the vote, if any issue is considered blocking, cancel the
vote, fix the issue and cut another 4.0.0 release. If the issue is not
blocking, we can do a 4.0.1 a few days or weeks later.
