Discussion is never a problem.  Anything requiring convert-ly changes is
on hold to master for practical reasons (version number monotonicity).

Anything requiring extensive documentation changes (except the
English-only CG) will be a nuisance when translation is moved back to
master.  Extensive changes (like replacing data types with something
else in a non-blackbox manner or refactoring modules/files) are also not
commendable.

There is a lot that would be desirable in the course of finishing the
release: proofreading the manual for accuracy, going through all the
Fixed_2_17_* tags and checking that all major important features and
changes are covered in Documentation/changes.tely.
