The real problem is that Marcelo seems to be *very* busy. I failed to get any contact from him from one week now. It's even becoming worrying, I hope he's alright. I don't know how much time it would take him to produce another release, but it will for sure delay 2.4.33 for a few weeks during which Marcelo will still be bound to this time-consuming task. It's left to him to decide anyway. In normal ciscumstances, I would for sure add another -rc, but delays get stretched too far given the number of vulnerabilities fixed in 2.4.33.
