+ 31. Clean up the source tree:
+
+ git clean -fdx .
+
+ 32. Edit bfd/development.sh on the branch and set the development flag
+ to "true". (Leave the experimental flag set to "false"). Also bump
+ the version in bfd/version.m4 by adding a trailing .0, so that the
+ date suffix keeps the version lower than the trunk version.
+ Regenerate files. Commit these changes.
+
+ 33. Email the binutils list telling everyone that the 2.3x branch
+ is now open for business as usual and that patched no longer
+ need special approval.
+
+ 34. Examine the bfd/config.bfd file in the mainline sources and move
+ any pending obsolete targets into the definitely obsolete
+ section. Create a changelog entry and commit.
