What is the status of review of open bugs?  GNATSweb shows 663 PRs in
state "open" - i.e. unreviewed, presuming that reviewers have changed the
state to "analyzed" when confirming bugs.  (Some of these are recent PRs,
but plenty aren't.)

I'll suggest again that, though not in the release criteria, TeX is a
worthwhile program to try to build, since there have been problems
triggered by TeX in more than one previous release.
