None that I know of.  But even if we cut the branch and start the
pretest today, 26.1 is still something like 6 months away, judging by
past experience, perhaps even longer.  Do we want to leave that memory
problem in 25.2 until then?  I thought we could do a quick emergency
release in a week or so, and then proceed with 26.1.
