The statement at the time was that the 28.3 release would be made "hopefully already later today" but apparently that hasn't happened. There's also no activity on the emacs-28 branch since February. Meanwhile, the pretest for 29.1 has started. So, will there be an 28.3 release at all? I am asking because Gentoo has a package for the release candidate with testing keywords since February, and I wonder what will be the way forward. If it was certain that there won't be a 28.3 release, then we would presumably label our 28.3_rc1 package as stable and drop 28.2. (It has seen three months of testing after all. :)
