The most recent flights don't look too bad anymore (at least
most of the <broken> have started disappearing again), so
there's some hop for pushes soon. I hope to get around to
push another batch of backports today, in particular to get
ready for 4.9.2 and 4.7.5, which should go out before the
end of the month. 4.10.1 is due mid of April, so from a stable
tree perspective best would probably be right after 4.9.2 /
4.7.5 have been finalized, as waiting for 4.10.1 would perhaps
be too much of a delay (and risk causing issues for 4.11-rc).
