I always thought that the idea of a release candidate was that if there were any fixes at all that there would be a new rc.  Only when no bugs needing fixed are found does the rc turn into the actual release. But I understand that this is an idealized rc/release policy :) I'll invoke the Umbrella Rule now.  If we don't do one we'll wish we had.  If we do, we won't have needed it.

Traceback (most recent call last): File "umbrella_rules.py", line 6, in UmbrellaRule() File "unbrella_rules.py", line 4, in UmbrellaRule raise DuplicateRuleName('http://whatplanetisthis.com/2008/02/the-umbrella-rule-and-sharing-rules-in-general/') DuplicateRuleName: http://whatplanetisthis.com/2008/02/the-umbrella-rule-and-sharing-rules-in-general/
