The blockers in bugzilla are not really blockers. That may be confusing
but they are only marked as blockers so that we have it easier finding
them again. Those are the bugs we were interested in looking at once
again before the release but if they are not fixed, then so be it.

There will be individual stable releases for the different components
in the future, so some of those issues might be resolved soon. Delaying
Xfce any futher doesn't add value to the release.

Yes, tomorrow.
