Yes.

The sync to master would normally happen somewhat frequently. Currently
it's delayed until we solve a technical issue with the new changelog
system.

That said, anyone who follows the development version because they want to
help find bugs and issues should probably switch to the emacs-25 branch
until release. As that's where we need the most polish now.
