It's held up on SSL. Ubuntu 20.04 changed some security parameter tunings, which breaks some uses of the SSL module, and approximately
eight modules in the test suite. I assume this wasn't caught on the buildbots because they don't use Ubuntu--or at least not a build that
fresh. SSL and the test suite are all completely happy on older Ubuntu releases.
One could argue "it's fine, most people still using 3.5 are also using old OSes anyway". But I don't want to release 3.5.10 if important
functionality is broken on a popular OS.
Since it's in "security fixes only" mode, you can just claim that anything
beyond that, compatibility with anything included, is not guaranteed.
You had no problems using that defense before in

So I'm waiting for help from the ssl module maintainer(s) who are very kindly
looking into it.
My plan is to release 3.5.10rc1 once it passes the test suite on Ubuntu 20.04... whenever that is. 3.5.10 final will be automatically
rescheduled for two weeks from that date.
Hold tight,

p.s. Happy American Independence Day!
