When trying to report a bug at bugs.lede-project.org, for 'Reported version' the only choice I have is 'Trunk'. I guess a 17.01.0-rc1 should be added.
I reported a bug about that 
https://bugs.lede-project.org/index.php?do=details&task_id=467
Hopefully devs add the new release to the bug tracker soon.
Done - Added lede-17.01 version, task closed.
