Yes I do too, but the issue is that we didn't test the betas at all yet 
due to this bug

        Which sucks; hopefully the Windows & Mac builds have been use-able for
testing - and of course, the snapshots of them.

and it covers a quiet large range of distributions. So, may be we should
really take time to test the RC fully before really calling it an RC
and spread the word around it.

        The danger of this - is that by introducing further delay into the
release pipeline - we slow down our ability to respond to bugs that are
found, and since we are releasing a build per week anyway - we can only
really choose to miss out a week: which isn't that wonderful :-) Already
we only have a few days to fix a bug in RC<n> and get the fix out in
RC<n+1>.

        -Far- better for people to be running and using the daily snapshot
releases and reporting bugs against them - instead of waiting for RCs
(per-se).

        Having said that - warning that RC1 may be a bit rough in the release
notes is a good idea :-) - although, given that this is caused by some
obscure compiler problem - apparently only present on the gross / old
system we compile the binaries on for Linux, I'm optimistic that once it
is fixed we'll not be in such terrible shape.

        ATB,

                Michael.
