Hi,

Both branches are looking good enough for me. I am planning to tag 
24.10.5 in about 20 hours (Thursday EU evening ) and 25.12.0-rc1 in 
about 44 hours (Friday EU evening).

25.12 is not perfect, but good enough for a release candidate to get 
more testing.

It would be  nice to get some apk fixes in.

Sysupgrade fixes, including related to apk
https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/17847
This looks good to me.

build: Let CLEAN_IPKG with USE_APK drop apk status:
https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/20980
This looks like the right direction, but OpenWrt does not build for me 
with these changes.

build: fix apk packaging and ABI-versioning:
https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/20819


luci-app-attendedsysupgrade package is included by default in 25.12, but 
owut is not included in the default images.
Do we want to ad owut on not small flash or ram targets too?
