We may want to resolve https://github.com/dask/dask/issues/9397

[jrbourbeau]

Tagging https://github.com/dask/distributed/issues/6909 as a blocker. I think we can get a fix in place before releasing tomorrow though

[jrbourbeau]

Okay, all reported blockers / nice-to-haves have been addressed. Will start pushing the release out in a few minutes
