This hopefu= lly is the last rc before the final release (we had to make a last-minute U= I tweak to a new feature in multi-step "revert" command to avoid later regrets). We already have interesting topics queued together with propo= sed fixes for older non-regression bugs which would make the next cycle sho= rt, sweet and fun.
