I can't believe you don't use these, or at least have been building the
code yourself. I really do not see a need for release candidates
delaying an already delayed release.

I announced a week ago about my intentions, and now people a day before
the release want to call for RC's ?

O.k. This is only going to delay stuff and if you say 3 more people
volunteered, then I'm not going to release tomorrow now.
I see the daily builds for those wanting to do RC testing as it has
everything bar the docs. As you want to review RSC and themes which are
already in the daily builds - please go ahead.
I put out a call for help with documentation updates and I see that
those will also take a bit of time.
I'll take a step back and see what other comments come in. But no rush
folks, there's no release (or RC) tomorrow.
Alan.
