That depends on how long do you estimate the final release to take.

From what I found [1] the sage-8.0 milestone still has 341 active issues,
which does not sound very optimistic.

I can wait for 2 or 3 weeks, but I do not want to wait longer. After all
upstream already released Sphinx 1.6 so we are two major releases behind.

I think this is not enough, unless the second part of my bugreport is also
addressed upstream.
