There is this that I would consider quite blocking;

I haven't checked if the bug appears in 8.3, but I would bet that it 
does, since the patch that caused it was pushed to master and the 8.3 
branch.

In any case, it should be fixed in the coming days.  I will still put an 
entry in the release page on the wiki.
