There were no previous stable releases on master since the name
changes/etc. have been made. One can say to release before the pkey
index changes (and then another release would cover this later) but I
think the regressions should pass before we call this "stable". I'd like
to understand the urgency of releasing these. I'm hoping we can get
there in the next week or two.
