Hi Jonas,

Not arguing one way or another, but we could also dedicate one of the
next development releases to Urs (who I never had the pleasure to meet,
given that I only became really active in 2020). It would have the
advantage that we release much more often (while there are no concrete
plans for the next stable release yet) and we would only need to write
a small paragraph to add to the release announcement. For example, we
did this two years ago when dropping support for Guile 1.8 and
dedicating it to Ian Hulin:

(That's probably too short notice for the release I'm planning to do
later today, but we could target the next one in ~3-4 weeks.)
If it would be manageable to keep this in mind until the next stable
(dot) release, I think I'd prefer to do it that way, as development
versions come and go quite frequently.
Using the 2.23.8 release for Ian Hulin made sense since that marked
crossing the goal line for the specific (yet tremendous) task on which
Ian was one of the first to work; I don't see such a natural connection
in the present case.
But of course that's not for me to decide.
