Yeah, quite.

So, Weston is in good shape - we now have both xdg-shell stable as
well as xdg-shell clients on ivi-shell compositors. I've had a scrub
through the MR and don't see anything major we would want to land in
the release that we can't do after freeze anyway.

Given that, and the complete absence of any objections - how about
alpha and freeze today?

Cheers,
Daniel
