The code seems to be converging to a good state, and the manual checking
is about 90% complete.  So I think we should be able to branch before
the end of May.

I plan to roll a new pretest on April 30.  I think, and Stefan has
agreed, that we'll introduce a regressions-only policy once this new
pretest is out: no fixes to bugs that already existed in Emacs 22.

I'll send another reminder email as we get closer to that pretest.
