Woow, impressive patch set! At first sight the 26 patches look reasonable to me, so I would suggest pushing them, along with the biber-next@2.7 update you mentioned. As for biber itself, perhaps the best option is to make biber-next the new biber? I don’t use it so I can’t really tell whether there’d be undesirable consequences. Another option might be to mass-escape left braces in the Biber code, but that’s probably not that easy… Thoughts? Anyway, this patch series probably closes the main blocker for core-updates no? Thanks, Ludo’.
