Sorry, I was vague. I think we should apply and go to RC1 tomorrow.
There will always be tweaks and fixes. If we expect it to be perfect,
we will never make a final release. We are 2.5 months into beta, and
if we don't want +3 months beta, we should get going.
We have to start taking some _reasonable_ risks to move this forward.
Until we make a final, we will not increase our test pool, and at this
point we are all sort of staring at each other. Let's go!
