2.9.0.2 schedule?

Is there an intention to release a 2.9.0.2 in the near future? Or anywhere I can go to see when (or whether) there will be such a release and what will be in it?
I'm particularly concerned about https://issues.scala-lang.org/browse/SI-4642: essentially using an immutable Set for very large collections which are regularly updated has become impossible; I realise that the issue hasn't got many votes but I would place this as pretty critical; much more so that the immutable.Map.keySet issue which could be worked around without *totally* changing ones application. 
For example, a class which contains an internal immutable Set which is frequently updated and "passed" to other parts of the program across thread boundaries is now essentially *completely broken* with no workaround that I can see (the issue effects immutable.TreeSet as well, I believe).

We don't like to do hotfixes. It would be much better to avoid them, so there's no release schedule for future hotfix releases. The problem you raise looks so bad that it would almost certainly have been rolled into the previous fix if we had known about it in time. We'll see what we can do about it, and will report once we have a plan.

Actually, I think 4 votes in such a short time (and 6 watchers) is
quite a deal. Most issues linger unvoted for.

Especially given that Jira is a fairly new installation...

It was on 1 vote when I wrote the email, I think
