I plan to roll these releases on Thursday.

In the meantime, we can document the authz regression on
https://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.10#issues so it's
easily visible to those considering to upgrade from 1.9.x to 1.10.1.

My time is currently allocated to rolling a release of the good fixes we already have. In a few days I will be busy with something else, then going on vacation, and before you know it, it will be September and still no release. Let's not repeat the mistakes of the past [1].

So I'm going to go ahead and roll tomorrow. (I nearly got it done today but didn't complete the testing and I see two more fixes are approved today, so I'll incorporate them.)

After that, I would encourage anyone to roll another patch release as soon as possible after any bugs are fixed.

One of the reasons for 1.10.1 was to fix the authz regression from 1.9:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SVN-4741

but a user recently reported another regression:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SVN-4762

We don't have a fix for 4762 but I have only just started looking at
it.  I'd like to delay 1.10.1 for a few days to see if it is easy to
fix.  Anyone else who wants to look at it is welcome to do so.

Essentially authz in 1.10 has different behaviour from 1.9 and lots of
people who use it will not be able to upgrade until both issue are fixed
to restore the 1.9 behaiviour.
