I have uploaded 2.9.25+exp1 on the 22nd to experimental, and following
that 2.9.26+exp1 and 2.9.27+exp1; this is waiting on the ftpteam to
approve it, but every week with a new upload it gets rebased, so the
NEW list is misleadingly treating it as newer than it is and I'm afraid
people are not processing it.
