A few of these (time64, to some extend mallocng, and mt-fork) have had good reasons behind them, but overall I feel like setting roadmap goals has been harmful to the original goal of having time-based release cycle, and I'd like to try getting back to it. In particular, with musl being rather mature and stable, a lot of the time there's not a lot of exciting new stuff committed, and that's okay -- the small fixes, sync with new kernel features, etc. that go in should make it quickly into tagged releases. I'd like to try rolling another release in the next 1-2 weeks, just pulling in any unmerged low-risk patches that haven't been addressed yet and any related fixes that come up while working on them. I believe there are still fairly many. Then we can get back to new work by myself and others that's been set aside for a while. Please start pinging anything you'd like me to take a look at for inclusion. Rich
