Use your own judgment as to what "low-risk" is, but as always stability on trunk is one of the criteria.
Towards the middle of next week we will take a look at where we stand as far as the freeze for final release. We can always decide to do a second beta, too. But please do any outstanding merges as soon as you are sure they are stable, rather than waiting until the last moment.

At this point, I think that you're judgement should be the determinant as to what "low risk" is. If I were you, I would lock the release branch to make sure you absolutely know about each of of these cases. But then you're not me so you can do it the way you want.
I'm afraid that would make the process too unwieldy. For example, I'm going to be out-of-town Saturday, Sunday, and part of Monday, and wouldn't be able to respond to requests to merge. And I really would like to encourage developers to fix warnings for 1.41.0. John's report of "an 11 Mb log file from the build, with 133 THOUSAND LINES of output" worried me. --Beman
