First off, we have no formal designation of RC. We proceed with alpha->beta->GA per our agreed-upon rules. Paul also said he was going to wait 7-10 days for feedback. If there's any legitimate concerns raised during that timeframe, then we can discuss not having 2.1.10 be a GA. Remember that we released 2.1.9 (and several others before then) publicly with very little legitimate negative feedback. Plus, 2.1.10 has only small code changes from 2.1.9. So, I'm fairly confident that we're not going to produce a dud. Therefore, combined with the fact that I tested 2.1.10 on several machines here and it's up on minotaur, I see no reason at this time not to make it a GA. If there's minor bugs discovered, we'll fix those up for 2.2.1. 2.2.0 doesn't need to be perfect - it just needs to be better than 2.0.x which this is by a large margin. -- justin
