I think what you mean here is simply:
"close all issues marked for CR milestone"

As we discussed on the call yesterday, 13 of the 26 presently marked for 
CR are labeled as _technical_  and 16 as editorial.

Great, thanks.

via this mailing list so everyone knows what's going on.

PR #702 is ready-to-merge AFAIK, and has approvals from @jcjones and 
@emlun. Other reviews of course welcome.

Other than perhaps including PR #688 if the IPR check is cleared (and 
since it has been reviewed by five folks and has not since changed), I 
hope that we _do not_ attempt to include any other changes in WD-07 at 
this time -- hasty changes at deadline are often sloppy and error-prone 
(witness my sloppiness with PR #702 yesterday, sigh).

thanks,
