we're waiting on https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/pull/10785 ( a revert ) to get merged before cutting the release. I might end up doing it in the evening tonight

you can put up release prep in the meantime! So long as you don’t merge release prep until everything has landed

right, that should be ready to go pretty soon once the revert is merged. but I need to run an errand around 6pm for a while so I'll be afk
