 --------------------------------------------------

 Here are the topics that have been cooking.  Commits prefixed with '-' are
 only in 'pu' while commits prefixed with '+' are in 'next'.

-The main part of this cycle is expected to run thru May, aiming for a
-feature freeze in early June.
+We will be in the feature freeze, and 1.7.6-rc1 will be tagged in a few
+days. Unless it is a very obviously correct fix to trivial bug (either
+code or documentation), nothing other than regression fixes will graduate
+to "master".

-We are in week #6 of this cycle. Feature freeze is imminent.
+Subsystem people are asked to kindly give pull requests to me.
