I'am balanced. We discovered a bug, we have a fix , the fix is easy, self contained, reviewed by many eyes. So, we have all we need for a GA now, this week, no ? Pushing another RC is all right, but if we find new bugs in this RC, some that could be critical, then we'll postpone GA to January, because we'll then fall in mid-December, etc... We all have eyes, we all can spot bugs whenever we want to. Why another RC now ? With another RC, we have time to concentrate on the code, OK, but we still have this time if we are in GA, as we'll have anyway a 7.0.1 coming shortly after... I'm not really +1 for another RC this week, but better for a GA. But that's my opinion...
