So I've been keeping an eye on the hydra jobset for the last few weeks,
looking for the occasional place to help out upstream(s) with patches,
etc. to fix builds.  I notice there haven't been any updates in a few
days---is this a prep-for-release thing, or is there something someone
could help with, or are you just taking a well-earned vacation?
