Minor note: there was an issue on the verification job for the Windows wheels related to the verification script, that's why it appears as failing on the RC PR [1].
A fix to the verification script has been pushed (merged already on main) and validated against the RC on the following workflow where it can be seen as successful [2]. This is only an issue with the verification script [3], not an issue for the release.
