Not yet. And I'm assuming you're driving at tagging it for -stable?
If yes, I think a stable tag makes sense since this way the distros
will pick it up more easily and we most definitely will need to do the
backport later otherwise.

Do you need another version with the stable tag resent or is it easier
for you to edit the commit message of the one you have already?

Thanks.
