I have hoped people would work more on the stabilisation and testing but
I don't think I'll be able to hold off the pressure to start master
rolling again at some point relatively soon.

It won't happen immediately as the 1.2 release is building which means I
have no resources to test master right now so I will hold off until
those are available.

To be honest at a personal level, I'm also pretty worn out after the
past couple of weeks of bug fixing, triage and review and would ideally
like to disappear for a couple of weeks. Realistically this isn't going
to happen now but maybe in a few weeks...

Cheers,
