I've already sent my sigs for 1.8.0-rc1 last week. Are you worried that people will still be busy testing 1.8.0-rc1 next week, so they won't have time to review STATUS on 1.7.x? And I don't see why we couldn't prepare two releases somewhat concurrently. Not that I want people to hurry unnecessarily. But it won't hurt to have a 1.7.10 tarball people could sign if they wanted to, would it?
