Just wanted to note that I've been looking at this page, and I'm really
amazed to see the relentless progress being made towards closing
everything out. Keep on pushing and we'll have a fantastic RC to have
everybody in the community (and at Canonical) hammer hard on.

The three remaining Criticals are still unassigned, btw.

Do any of these risk destabilizing us at this point?

It was a great first cut. A metronome is usually shorter and more
compact -- just the statistics, links and one or two paragraphs with a
small commentary. It needs to be quick to produce. But for a kick-off
email, this had enough information for the audience.
