Sacha, the problem is not that the code *has* some specific bugs. The main
problem is that it *may* contain bugs which aren't uncovered yet, and RC3
is not the right time where the lookup for critical bugs should be done.
You could claim that your personal verification of the code is enough for
it to not contain any bugs, but that claim had been proven untrue. Thus,
we have very good reason so suppose that, like any other new untested
code, this new code may have bugs. Thus, this code needs to be tested,
and not just rushed into the release - even that you (or me) are
absolutely sure that the last bug found in it is indeed the very last
one.
