I'll call for a vote to promote it to final beginning of next week if nothing 
serious is reported before.

As stated in the previous thread about 3.0, the release/2.5 branch is now 
abandonned (I've setup a branch protection rule on GitHub which should prevent 
anyone from pushing into it) and release/3.0 should be used instead.
