Yes, I got -rc1 out sooner than we do historically.  I think there's a
few changes I would like to make about how we handle branching,
releasing and merge windows.  But this thread has reminded me that I
need to think very carefully about how we manage branches that are
longer lived.  And I don't want to make big changes for v2013.01 but
prepare everyone to try them for v2013.04 (and .07).
