And the topic this does _not_ address is should there be a release before 
then?

I missed the one year mark.  I owe you a cake.  (You were having a birthday, 
or one of your kids was having a birthday, every time I brought it up.)

It has now been a year since there was a uClibc release.  How long will this 
merge take?  Can we just have an imperfect release and maybe a 0.9.29.1 
bugfix if it turns out to be necessary?

Once again, the age old argument: Yeah, stuff is broken in 0.9.29, but how 
much of that is just as broken in 0.9.28?  What is _fresh_ breakage?
