Apologies for the late notice on this, but the release team has concluded
that 9.6 is about as ready as it's going to get. We are planning to go
ahead with 9.6.0 release next week --- that is, wrap Monday 26th for
public announcement on Thursday 29th.
Thanks to the Release Management Team (Robert, Alvaro, and Noah) for
driving 9.6 towards an on-time release!
