I recommend approving such kind of PRs only after successful testing.

[georglauterbach]

You're right, will do.

"Don't count your chickens before they are hatched." @casperklein you we're right. I just checked the logs again and found something... (but nothing serious). Enough to block this PR though until #2336 is merged. Sorry :D

Other than that, logs look good to me.

[georglauterbach]

Just blocking this here so no accidental merged until #2336 is merged.

[georglauterbach]

Nice! Will accept when we're about to release :) (learned my lesson)

[casperklein]

What about #2330. As you labeled it for 10.4.0, it's fine to merge?

Yes, I think this can / should go into v10.4 too. We can then remove the label
pr/waiting for other PR to get merged label from this PR and freeze other PRs if necessary.

@polarathene are you going to release this on the 24th?:)

Sure, is there a specific timezone? Otherwise I'd be happy to release around this time tomorrow (which is 24th in NZ)

Nice!
I think time zone does not matter, just go ahead :)
