... so, as ususual, things do not work out as smooth as we hoped.
We had to do some shared library version bumps to the netbsd-10 branch
as a consequence of the openssl pullup.

All critical changes (and especially everything that would normally not
be allowed for a release branch) have happend now.

Unfortunately the additional shared library changes require another round
of package rebuilds from scratch. Everyond building packages against
netbsd-10: please start a new round from scratch.

Sorry for the bumpy ride, I hope we are really there now.

The above reference wiki page has been updated, schedule had to be adjusted
slightly - but fortunately we found the issues quickly and only have a
minor delay now.

Thanks to everyone helping and testing, looking forward to a great 10.0
release!
