Hi,

Due to conferences, holidays and other higher priority deliverables the
regression tests on 16.11.9 has still to be ran. The newest estimate is
by the end of February - with the alternative being releasing now
without the testing.
During the release meeting we agreed that, unless there are objections
and urgent requirements to have 16.11.9 release in January, we will
wait for the regressions and postpone to end of February. Please let us
know if there are any objections.

Again, apologies for this delay.
