+- Fix a bug introduced in v1.53.0 where an unnecessary query could be performed when fetching bundled aggregations for threads. ([\#12228](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12228))
+- Fix a bug introduced in Synapse 1.52 where admins could not deactivate and GDPR-erase a user if Synapse was configured with limits on avatars. ([\#12261](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/12261))
