The only concern I have is with jumping to a release later than 1.47 in F-16
post alpha which is in fact the time when features should be complete. So in
fact it should have already landed. Post alpha the release will branch from
rawhide at which point please feel free to push > 1.48 to F-17 rawhide with
appropriate heads up to people.
