I suppose your bump will include plenty of other changes. At this time, "master" is frozen in terms of version bumps: we only do version bumps for security fixes. The other version bumps are only done on the next branch, but we still want to fix build failures on master. If the Mender version bump that is coming really only bug fixes, then we sometimes make exceptions and merge such version bumps in master. But as a general rule, after -rc1 is released, version bumps go in next, and therefore build issues may need to be fixed by backporting patches from upstream.
