How about we wait until we have the update system working again and

The code works with existing rules and sa-update is designed to
separate the rules from code. I am negative on waiting for a release
just because rules as long as we have a working tar we can release
that is reasonably recent.
That's fine by me, if we have enough substantive changes since "rc1"
that we need wider testing for another code cut, then we'll do it.
Otherwise I think it would be worthwhile to have a (subsequent?) cut
specifically so many people to test it with the actual rule update
tarball. Given that rule update generation has been broken for so long,
there is still the potential for surprises if we change both the code
and rules at the same time without testing them together.
I'm hoping you're already testing with the update you requested that you
get to test with before publishing the update in DNS.
Update 1104058 that is available on the sa-update mirrors (just download
the three files with wget or something) can be used as your release rule
tarball if you're happy with it. This update is generated just as an
update would be if it were published in DNS, the only difference is I
didn't let the script update DNS.
