 * Still hard to fix blocking bugs
-** Build (RC) anyway!
+** Bug with graphic handles while closing Octave (bug {{bug|58814}}) was reported.  This happens when exit is called from a script or when directly calling exit after running the script in the CLI.  How to properly handle graphics callbacks during exit?
-** crashes during doc graphics creation seem to be fixed (bug {{bug|56952}})
+** ode15 with Sundials make problems on 32-bit MS Windows builds (bug {{bug|58795}}). Maybe already solved.
-** still elusive crashes while running the test suite on the build bots (bug {{bug|57591}}) -> Maybe the broader user base of an RC can shed some light on "real-life frequency" of these crashes.
+** 32-bit MS Windows builds have precision problems failing the test suite (bug {{bug|58807}}).  Solvable by requiring SSE2 instructions.  Go ahead with it.
-** possible background: interaction between graphics system and interpreter is different from interaction of rest of GUI with the interpreter. Possibly resolvable by a copy-on-write approach for graphics objects (postponed to Octave 7)
-* Try to tackle bugs with debuggers
-** valgrind slow
-** <code>-fsanitize=thread</code> in memory and faster
-* Before Octave 6.1.0 release, discharge MS Windows 10 Malware Detection Systems (e.g. upload to https://www.virustotal.com/)
