I'm worried about build identification. Either the switchover happens before RC1, or after Final. I expect significant breakage from the Mercurial switchover, so that should all be figured out before or after the release.

I hope that can be well tested before the release.

FWIW, I'm pondering to do all remaining 2.5 release from svn, despite the switchover to Mercurial, just so that the build identification does not get harmed. As a side note - I don't think two release candidates are really necessary. So if it helps, it may be reasonable to drop one of them. OTOH, I don't mind having two RCs, either.

I'm okay with dropping one RC, too. This should give us some wiggle room.
