Yes.  And this was very limited and now, almost, well reviewd.

Thanks for the fix.

The whole point of the "ready for release process" is to find, and fix,
the last nits.  If we restart the clock on every last nit found and
fixed, we'll never get done.

I prefer to think of it as a stabilizing fix.  Another bug crushed.

Right now the only thing that I see is the pending IPv6 literal fix.
When that is in the release will be close.

Should it be called 3.20, or 4.0?  I'm inclined to make this 3.20,
for the same reasons Linux released 4.20.
