We are down to no more open bugs and sufficient success on the CPAN

environments has gone well.
We have been testing for a long time now and Tuesday through Thursday
with the TAGNAME promoted rules that broke sa-update was not very fun
but I'm 99% sure Giovanni fixed that. I'm monitoring that through
Tuesday but that's been the only major hiccup. I would recommend
holding off until Tuesday night to confirm that fix is good to go and
for someone using TAGNAME to confirm it works as expected.
If nobody has anything that they are working on that they intend to
commit, or any other issues to bring up, I would like to go to RTC
mode and I'll then cut a pre-release 3 that people can test with. If
that passes a short time for testing I'll cut a release candidate in
preparation for actual release.
A pre-release doesn't require RTC so I'd suggest we either 1) use CTR
and a pre-3 *or* 2) I'd be +1 for RTC and a rc1.
Also, Giovanni and I did a pass on the announcement at
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BGFFfZlQxYe9-H9AyEY_MVski_VtAaTb-4BLA_exwYs/edit
and it's ready we believe. The word wrapping will need work when it's
brought back to ASCII, sorry.
The upgrade file is much longer and Giovanni's done a great job with 19
pages(!!) of upgrades. I've only wordsmithed through the first few
pages if anyone has some cycles to help make it better. Sorry, the
conversion back to ASCII and word wrapping will be a pain here but best
done when the editing is done.

KAM
