That is a little unfair. The issues from back then may still exist and will
continue to exist until resolved. Someone in the end has to do the work and for
RTEMS 5 it all came down to me, with some extra help, to clean up and fill in
the gaps.

This is unhelpful. The best way to get things moving is to take a ticket that is
outstanding and produce fixes. There are some regressions we cannot ignore.

I will consider starting the release process once I am sure the servers are
sorted or being sorted and the release can be made cleanly with suitable space.
The server work started 6 months ago and I have been waiting at least 3 or 4
months for this to continue. Here is the link
