I=E2=80=99m late to the party, but what=E2=80=99s the status?  It seems we =
a bit behind
schedule, but it looks like a good time to resume work on this.

Today I=E2=80=99ll try switching to glibc 2.28, and if it works well, I=E2=
=80=99d like
to make it the last big change in =E2=80=98core-updates=E2=80=99.

How does that sound?
