Yes, they can be committed: I'll branch a release clone for tagging.

I think the first rc is a good time for that.  Until then, it is a good
thing for everyone to be able to concentrate on bugfixing.

A final 3.2 bugfix release will follow soon after 3.3.0, after which 3.2
will go into security mode, so that the time with three active 3.x branches
will be short.

cheers,
