Yes. I think we've just eliminated issues blocking a new release, and
should proceed to make the release.

I think you only need one package of LKRG, and when the latest release
is too old for Arch's use just switch to packaging latest git in there.
Then update it in response to specific issues relevant to Arch. This is
what e.g. ALT Linux does:
