    And putting out a new prerelease to be sure that those are ok, and
    waiting for the translators to catch up with cherry-picked patches
    containing stuff to be translated.
    
    But the current roadblock is David K. cherry-picking some patches.  

Is the reason for cherry-picking such a big list of patches to avoid some 
regressions?  Or are these patches that were created after we put out the last 
pre-release?

Would you like me to try doing the cherry-picking for you?
