As folks will probably start heading out for the holidays soon, I'll suggest this be the last planned release for the year.

Is Python 3.11 something we are trying to support in this release?

[jrbourbeau]

Good point. I've added the 3.11 PRs to the "Best effort" section (it'd be nice to have, but shouldn't block)

[jrbourbeau]

Alright, all "Best effort" PRs are in. I'm going to start pushing out the release in ~45 minutes
