I do agree with this. There is no point in announcing a freeze if you
turn around and change a bunch of fundamental things the next day. If we
are really going to go back and change all these method names then I think
the correct way to do it is to pull RC1 and let people know that we
discovered some things that need to be cleaned up and we will attempt
another freeze and RC1 at a later date.
Huh? Now you're really going to confuse people. You can always have RC2 and more. As it is there will be enough meat to have an RC2 after bug fixes (things which weren't discovered before more people started testing the RC).
Two RC1s would be a clusterfuck.
