Issue 6.9.1 wheels missing => install broken for users

[Raphaël Gomès]

Hi Pierre,

This is a classic case of me forgetting to update the release checklist 
once we added wheels...

I've pinged Matt who is able to make the missing wheels for 6.9.1, added 
a notice in the release checklist, and we should have a way of not going 
through Matt within the next couple of releases.

Sorry about this, thanks for the ping.
