Hi Scott and lists. With all of this, i expect to keep testing RC1, and RC2 should come before 5.3 to be completely released. If 5.3 is scheduled to be released in 7-10 days, you could release -RC2 in next 3-5 days so we've the posibility to test fixed things that might not be in current -RC1. Just an idea.
