advertised well in advance.

Critical problems
-----------------

We can break the release cycle and do a patch release at any point if a
critical enough problem is reported. There is no exact definition of how to
assess such criticality, but if an issue is highly disturbing or has a
security impact on a large enough share of the user population it might
qualify.

If you think an issue qualifies, bring it to the curl-library mailing list and
push for it.
