Thank you!

Usually the branch is cut at the end and the freeze is 10-15 days
before that, depending on the state of HEAD.

Right now, there's still some fallout from setuptools, but I think
I've fixed it and the next HEAD bulk build should be a bit better than
early February
https://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-bulk/2025/02/07/msg026519.html

so probably freezing somewhere between the 15th and the 20th should be
good.

gdt wrote up some branch rules and conventions here:

The actual details for branching are in
