For the record, the _only_ code change (until Paul's gcc-7 changes last Friday, which do seem trivial) in the emacs-25 branch was the tls one I referred to. It had been present in both emacs-25 and master since April, as well as being distro-patched by Debian in their Emacs 25.1 package over the same time period (since they considered it a serious issue, ie one that otherwise merits eventual removal of the affected package; ref https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=766397 ). Personally I consider that ample testing. Everything else was doc fixes.
