IMO, we're not quite RC quality on master, so tagging it that way feels a bit premature.  ASan trips over a bunch of issues still.  I'd like to land the patches that I sent out over the weekend that address memory corruption issues if the server is started without any screens attached.  That issue was made obvious due to the input thread changes which altered our initialization order to reveal the issue.

We should also address the use-after-free in CloseDownClient that I discussed in https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97770 and figure out what's causing replies to get stuck unsent in the first place (cf 9/11: Re: XLoadQueryFont() not returning with recent xserver master).

Thanks,
Jeremy
