How is this wrt an rc8 or a final?

Nothing scary in there, I think you can safely do a -final with those
networking changes.

On a very much related note, I really wish you didn't send the
networking fixes the day before a release is scheduled.

If it's really quiet., send them on (say) Wed/Thu. And then on
Saturday, send a note saying "no, important stuff", hold on. Or say
"nothing new".

Because right now the "last-minute network pull request" has become a
pattern, and I have a very hard time judging whether I should delay a
release for it.

Sorry about that, just the way things work during the week I can't
catch my breath until late Friday night or Saturday usually to review
what I have and send a pull request to you.

I'll shoot for more mid-week pulls in the future.
