So... April 1st came and went, busy with last-minute warnings from a newly set-up NetBSD build agent for the NUT CI farm, as Greg-inspired warnings exposed by the stricter platform kept popping up and biting. Led to some discoveries in toolkits and standards I thought I knew for decades, too. So it was a tad bit annoying, but good overall :)
But now we are a day over the hopeful "not more than a year" since the last release... Still, maybe sometime later in the week all CI stars will converge to let the release be cut. Has any other platform got last-minute changes to tackle? Plan 9 maybe? :) Jim Klimov PS: Colleagues from another community pointed to https://tailscale.com/blog/tailscale-enterprise-plan-9-support - fun read, true story, true PRs; their request https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale/issues/5794 posted some 3 years ago got fulfilled just now.
