Now that we know that there is going to be RC6 I think there is no point in waiting for another week for it just because we have to release things on Thursday. I think that the best thing would be to make immediate RC6 and allow people some time to test it, and if nothing critical comes up, release the final version in a week or so.

Many people haven't had a chance to look at RC5 yet. I think cycling through them too fast is going to frustrate people. Give them a couple of days to report other issues before going to RC6.

Having to wait a week while there is another RC and allowing commits in the meanwhile, any of which can break things, is not the best release management from my perspective.

I tend to disagree with you here, Edin. Releasing one RC just after another - _that_ would be bad management. RCs are RCs, if something is broken in one of them, let's wait for the next one and see if it ok. Also, I don't like the rush in the release management which to appears from time to time, but this time (I mean 5.2) something (or someone) has changed and I really like how it goes, so let's make it as stable as we can and push it out of the door without any hurry. -- Wbr, Antony Dovgal
