Perhaps we should stop having major discussions when things come out as release candidates, so that we can have the major discussion on actual release? I don't know. Trying to make it work that way might just cause more problems.
I for one missed the rc1 post appearing here - as I think a number of other people did too judging from the comments and the interest gauged from the upvotes. Would a potential consideration be to attach the release-candidate discussion threads into the main release discussion, or would that cause more confusion than it's worth?
