I think we've already basically missed the window for releases this week.
Not that we couldn't physically do it, but that we normally give the
packagers more than one day's notice. (There's also the fact that we've
already asked them to do two releases in the past three weeks.)

I propose that we plan for back-branch releases the week after PGCon
(wrap on Monday June 22), and 9.5alpha1 the week after that (wrap on
Monday June 29). If there's a need for an additional round of back-branch
releases shortly thereafter, we'll deal with that as needed.
