No, it's by lack of time -- I just haven't yet had time to update the
calendar.  I'll do that soon.

No, the last changes for M5 are already in the master, to soak for a
bit until we promote b76 next Thursday 11/12.  Please wait until after
Thursday to do your next integration, which will be for M6.
