Did you check whether the same amount of avocado tests still works as 
before? ... last time I tried to bump the version, a lot of things were 
failing, and I think Cleber was recently working  on fixing things, but I 
haven't heart anything back from him yet that it would be OK to bump to a 
newer version now ...
So upgrading to a new version of Avocado during the softfreeze sounds 
somewhat risky to me right now - I'd appreciate if we could do that after 
the release instead.
