2015-05-12 is here! If we go by the agreed process, only bug fixes are
allowed in master from now on. However, I know that David would really
like to get the per-port profile restoring in in 7.0, and I would really
like to get the UCM JackHWMute support in (Keyon told me that this
feature is required to make jack detection work on Dell XPS 13 or any
other broadwell-rt286 machines). Should we grant exceptions for those?

The release blocker bug status: we have 4 bugs marked as release
blockers:

88452 - pulseaudio "killed" my qemu instance (assertion hit)
  * https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88452
  * This is marked as NEEDINFO on the basis that the bug reporter should
verify the provided fix. There has been no activity for a long time,
maybe we should just close this one.

89139 - Pulseaudio 6.0 on Arch no HDMI sound after upgrade from 5.0
  * https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89139
  * This is marked as NEEDINFO, because there isn't enough information
to make a fix. If we get no further information from the reporter, I
suppose this will just not get fixed in 7.0.

90108 - Multiple pulseaudio crashes.
  * https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90108

90125 - [native protocol] sending to 5.1 configuration doesn't work
  * https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90125
