Yes, this!

Milan, feel free to do the .91 release whenever you want. Or you could 
do it now and call it .90.5, or whatever you want to call it.

The delay seemed appropriate because, having advised maintainers to 
switch from JHBuild to BuildStream, but not having any way to generate 
release tarballs with BuildStream, was not a friendly situation for 
maintainers. I had provided guidance that was not possible to follow. I 
know you're used to releasing without using JHBuild, but that can be 
difficult, and anyone who relies on JHBuild to make releases and 
followed our advice to stop doing so would have been stuck. Hence, some 
extra time to figure out what we were doing was needed.
