I hadn't noticed that this meant that we had a 1 week softfreeze
period. This completely failed, partly because I didn't think
we'd gone down to just 1 week, partly because I was away at a
conference last week when rc0 was theoretically due, and
partly because of the enormous pile of merges that needed
to be done -- I only finished the merge work on the Saturday.
I plan to tag rc0 tomorrow (the 14th) and push all the other
dates out by a week accordingly.
