Agreed. I think the best course of action is to wrap up 4.82 at the
end of this week. Then I would like to target a small baking period
for features and roll a 4.83, say 2-3 months. Between you and
Wolfgang, you both have provided us with some new things that are
going to enhance crypto features.

I'd also like to take a shot at the DANE support that Viktor
mentioned. So a 4.83 with major security enhancements would be
additional positive press.
