@lkundrak, the Fedora KiCad package admin, should pick up my -rc2 changes very soon - they will go into Fedora Rawhide.
So we should be well positioned for a stable release to appear there soon after everything is tagged for the official 5.0.0 release.

However, if it's an easy fix (I'm trying to find it, but I don't know anything about the router code, so I have so far only managed to add a ton of trace and confuse myself), it would be shame IMO to leave it in for release. It's something that pretty much all users of the PNS router would run into almost as soon as they try to use it. If it's a harder fix or introduces unacceptably risky changes to the router, then it can wait.
