The release being stuck anyway, perhaps we can put them in with
the understanding that this time round we'll need at least another
RC. Ian - you know how risky the changes are, please use your
judgment.

(Btw., as to 4.4.3, I don't think I want to kick off that process until
4.5.1 gets out of its stuck state, i.e. as all stable trees are affected
by the underlying problem, I don't want both trees to be hold up half
way through the stable release process.)
