Thanks Dewayne,
Dogfooding is why 2.3 wasn't committed. Larry didn't have problems with the
upgrade, but I ran into a number of them on my own server, including some
showstoppers (especially one that caused all incoming attachments to get
mangled).
I have every intention of committing 2.3.1 once it gets released, though if
it happens right at the end of the month, I may wait a few days for 2018Q2
to get branched beforehand---I'd like for the kinks to be worked out in
head before it hits quarterly.
