Unless the FF17 hackfest is harder than expected, this schedule
should hold.

It's late, but I'll try to do the testing before the end of the week.

Merged.

I should answer rransom's review first to clarify, but basically it's
still waiting for review & merge.

Still waiting review & merge, as well as:

* bugfix/i2p_hidden_mode
* bugfix/fix_default_iceweasel_spelling_language
* bugfix/remove_apt_local_cache
* feature/vidalia-0.2.21
* feature/recent-microcode

Each of this branch should not take more than 5-15 minutes to review
and merge, given a current build from experimental, but still, in the
current circumstances, I'm not confident this will happen (... but I'd
be totally delighted to be proven wrong! :)

I'm not sure what I'll do at freeze time for the branches nobody has
had time + skills to review. I would be happy to know what's your
general take on it.

This will apparently be for later, no worry.

Waiting for Jake's audit.

Unless either I'm very bored in the next few days, or I put it into
the alpha ISO and corrupt the FF17 hackfest testers to test this one
too, it's unlikely to make it for 0.17.

Shit happened outside of Tails during the days I had scheduled,
and sajolida discovered a blocker bug I cannot reproduce anyway.
Postponed.

Unless Alan and/or Lukasz have been secretly working on it since then,
I guess this won't make it in time.

Thoughts, opinions, other plans or ideas, critical bugs we cannot
release RC1 with?

Cheers,
