Got swamped again. We already have about 112 patches in 2.7.2 already.
There are 15 open tickets in progress. I’ll push progress on them for an RC towards end of this week.

I got caught up with a very long release process for 2.6.1 so couldn't make progress on a 2.7.2. Now is the time! Things to do (#1) Branch -- Branch 2.7 has been open to 2.7.2 commits for a while. -- In order to converge on a release, I will branch out 2.7.2 soon. (#2) Patches -- 2.7.2 already has a boat load [1] of fixes. -- The list of open blocker / critical tickets [2] is not small. I'll start triaging and see what can make it in a week or so of time. (#3) Release -- Even if we can get half of the blocker / critical tickets in, the full list [3] will be big enough for us to start voting on an RC in no less than a week. -- Leaving aside some buffer time, I plan to start RC process by end of first week of October. Thoughts? Appreciate help in moving open tickets [2] forward. A general note: Please consider putting any critical / blocker tickets on 2.8 into 2.6.2 and 2.7.2 releases.
