Hi, Just a quick update here--I will likely delay branch creation a bit because I'm behind schedule on reviewing PRs with a milestone, and because meson infrastructure doesn't need to be rushed to cut just before the (long) weekend. It might also be nice if I could get the cibuildwheel infra leveraging the new meson backend, though that may be aspirational (I think it struggled to find OpenBLAS when I rebased on the pertinent meson branch locally). Part of this is just that it is nice to be able to copy fixes in wheel infrastructure from i.e., NumPy, and if we end up on multibuild for longer than they are it could strand us a little bit more in terms of fixing issues.
