The thinking behind having some gap is that a lot of people don't change from feature work to bug fixing until the branch is made. There are usually a bunch of bug fixes landed right after the branch is made... there's also often a bunch of... chaos right before the branch is made. Having an RC that doesn't build, has lot of known bugs, etc is useless. Having a time gap between features landing and making RC1 allows things to settle down a bit. I thought your complaint before was that a week wasn't long enough. That's why I bumped it to two weeks this time. I guess I must have misunderstood the concern. > Also, for XWayland glamor-based acceleration, the X Server needs a > release of Mesa it can depend on.
