They can do this too...

But if that still doesn't resolve their problem, a quick check of the
mailing list contents isn't out of the question either.  In that case,
they would have found the solution to their problem.  But, when you get
right down to it, only one person reported it in addition to the
original poster, so either other people saw the original post and
compensated in their own testing, or (the more likely I think), most
people don't start testing -rcs until after -rc2.  Which is why I try
to set -rc2 as a milestone for several purposes.  For getting in the
bulk of the known fixes, but also as a branching point for for-next.
