I'd prefer if we could get 4.7.2 into the distro rather sooner than
later.  As long as it is a test release, it doesn't matter much if all
patches are in.

For the first "real" release it would be better to have them, if they
are necessary, though.  How far away are we from there?

And while we're at it, what about reviewing Achim's gmp/mpfr/mpclib/
ppl/cloog-ppl packages?


Thanks,
Corinna
