[wp-testers] RC-1

[Mark Jaquith]

I also think that it seems premature for the RC label, but in the  
end, it's just a label.  The main thing is that we should make sure  
the major issues are fixed, and that any new code is given adequate  
time to be tested.  At long as no code is checked in at the 11th hour  
and the major issues are fixed, you can call it Tango Bravo Gamma  
Monkey Island 2006 XP Gold Edition for all I care ;-).  I think it is  
just the usual connection between "RC" and an imminent release that  
has people worried.  As some may recall, 1.5 was rushed a little bit  
at the end, and suffered from a few major bugs that came out a few  
days later.
