Hi developers,

We're getting closer, but we're not yet at a point where we can 
recommend that you try generating release tarballs with BuildStream and 
expect it to work. So I have to reluctantly recommend that you use 
JHBuild to generate your 3.27.90 release tarballs, if your module has 
dependencies that can't be satisfied by your host system. Even though 
the release team is no longer maintaining JHBuild, you can make 
whatever changes to the modulesets you need, and I believe that it is 
still the easiest way to generate your release tarballs at this time.

The final tarball deadline for 3.27.90 will be Monday, February 12. Our 
release deliverable will still be a BuildStream project: that has not 
changed.

Due to this delay, we will skip the 3.27.91 release altogether, so the 
next tarball deadline will be 3.27.92, on March 5. Perhaps by then we 
will be able to recommend using BuildStream for tarball generation.

Thanks very much for your patience during this transition period.

Michael
