[...] I've looked at all the errors that mixed 1.9-1.10 testing showed and I don't think any of them are release critical.
That's good news indeed. Then compatibility testing is no longer blocking the release.
For this particular test, the locking error message, we might choose to backport a 1.9 client fix to improve the client-generated error message and such a backport might make any change to the trunk test redundant. It may even be better to leave the trunk test unchanged so that it fails with 1.9.7 but passes with some future 1.9.8.
Sounds reasonable. - Julian
