Ok Alex, so if Piotr, Om, or Yashay could try next RC maybe we could check it works for all. As soon as we have 2 different persons running successfully in two different machines I think will got it. Although maybe we don't need other RC... maybe could be good to try a new RC just for the purpose of check all the process, always taking into account that someone of the latest RMs have the time? I think getting success on this will make all of us more confident that we get finally a release process 1.0
