When the rapid cycle of bugreport-> fix slows down in the RC stage,
could you give a heads up and ETA before final release (2-3 weeks?)
I will probably be out of town for this release but my inclinations to
test are rising.  In the past, the final release came very quickly after
a number of reported bugs were fixed.  Fortunately 1.4.0 was good.  I
feel the late RC stage needs a short announced period of a week or more
to let risk-averse testers know that it is worthwhile to start testing
without concern of almost daily fixes.  Thanks.
