It's not decided yet. But we're in bug-fix only mode already and
would like to get more test coverage - thus submitting this patch for BR.
Once we're confident no major issues happen we'll cut RC1 and then once
we pass internal sign-off testing will cut the release.

That said for real "final-final" release we might be a bit late like
mid November etc due to the schedule of internal sign-off testing team
(though I haven't checked with them yet so it might slip even further),
but as long as we don't see major breakages with either RC1 or RC2 we'll
be happy with either option in BR release with possibility to do a minor
bump from RCx to final release on say .1 release of BR later.

Makes sense?
