I don't see any need to stop merging PRs. I recommend you go ahead and if Krisztian needs to cut another RC he can do it out of a branch. I've said this on some other e-mail threads and there haven't been objections so I think it's okay. We can formalize this policy after 3.0.0 so there isn't this kind of ambiguity in the future
