FYI from IRC (#pypa-dev on Freenode) just now:

<xafer> 12:50:31> hello dstufft, are you planning to release 8.1 soon ?
<dstufft> 12:50:38> xafer: yes
<dstufft> 12:50:47> before monday
<dstufft> 12:51:07> primarily for https://github.com/pypa/pip/pull/3497
<xafer> 12:53:42> ok, so not today ? :)
<dstufft> 12:57:18> xafer: Depends on how I feel once the vicodin
wears off and if there's pending stuff for 8.1 that will get completed
in time if I wait a day or two

<dstufft> 13:29:41> xafer: fwiw, the reason I'm planning on doing 8.1
prior to monday, is there's a good chance we can get pip 8.1 in Ubuntu
16.04 if we're released prior to monday
