Well, all the pre-9.1 branches are definitely badly in need of updates.
9.1 maybe could go without at this point, but we do have one crasher bug
and one serious memory leak fixed there, neither new in 9.1. I'd just
as soon not establish a precedent for not releasing the same fixes at
the same time in all branches.

How about we wrap them all, but you could let your team slip the 9.1
update for a day or so if they need more time? It's certainly less
critical than the older branches.
