* Contingency mechanism: If glibc 2.34 provides too disruptive to
compiling the distribution we could revert to 2.33, but given that
Rawhide has started tracking glibc 2.34, no show-stopper problems are
expected. At this point, we can still revert to upstream version 2.33
if insurmountable problems appear, but to do so may require a mass
rebuild to remove new symbols from the ABI/API.
* Contingency deadline: Upstream glibc ABI freeze deadline of 2021-07-01.
I notice that the listed contingency deadline is two days from now, so
it will have passed before this even makes it to FESCo for vote. Is
that date correct?
