Yes, I thought as much after I sent this reply. Definitely a choice of
the lesser of two evils. As long as we don't break the build or have
horrendous merge conflicts, I think it's tolerable.

Any one who is booting -rc1's is typically bug hunting. This means
Sebastian, who has been CC'd on all of this. I don't want to rely on
this in the future, but doing it once due to the circumstances is
something I'm comfortable answering to.
