Hello *,

to add some packages to the initially posted list:
- bash
- libassuan
- libpipeline
- libuv
- libxcrypt
- OpenVPN
- pcmciautils
- qemu & qemu-ga
- readline
- sed
- swig
- usbutils
- xz

I am happy to take care of some of them, should the contributors typically doing
package updates (Adolf and Matthias) experience capacity issues. Just drop me a line. :-)

As for Core Update 172, it will be kept open until November 23, to await the outcome
of Mozilla's ultimate to TrustCor Systems (and to pick up changes to their root CA
store as quickly as possible).

Thanks, and best regards,
Peter Müller
