We usually wait for the kernel bits to go in before releasing a glibc
with the new ABI, but I'll defer to Carlos, Joseph, etc. on that.
Provided that is clear, I think it should be safe to continue reviewing
the patchset until about a week or two before the release date
(tentatively 1 Aug) and then take a call on whether it is ready or needs
to be pushed to 2.27. Given that it does not interact with other
architecture code, their testing should not get affected.
