Freeze for the upcoming 2.41 release

[Andreas K. Huettel]

Hi all, 

as of today 4 Jan 2025 we're in freeze for glibc-2.41.

 * Machine testing
 * Noncritical bug fixes
 * No ABI changes without RM discussion.
 * High risk bug fixes should be discussed on the list
 * Completion of ongoing work in progress
 * Decisions what goes still in and what goes not (blockers / desirables)

Please in particular avoid commits that
 * change translateable strings
 * increase math errors / change ulps sets

Cheers & happy new year,
Andreas

PS. Tempted to call this "glassy freeze". :)
