I am now back from Warsaw and Białystok, where I have learned the proper 
Polish spelling of the name (and the pronunciation). I have also learned about 
local dishes in the Babka restaurant at the city center (Polish, Russian, 
Belarussian, Ukrainian, Lithunian), and the very interesting beverage of 
Kvass, e.g. in this Lithunian variety (thick and sweet):

Back in wet and cold Bavaria, it is now time to pick up all open threads, and 
target at Isabelle2023-RC3 on 09..10-Aug-2023. That will also be the fork 
point of the isabelle-dev vs. isabelle-release repository.

Afterwards, isabelle-dev will in principle be ready for anything intended for 
the next release after Isabelle2023, but bigger changes need to wait for the 
corresponding AFP release and fork-point.

My guess: we will see another 3-5 weeks delay for no particular reason.

Such things could be done concurrently, e.g. with Isabelle RC1 or RC2.
