Maybe I missed it, but did anyone declare a QA period? In the past I've not seen this, and just seen people start talking retrospectively about how "we're in QA now" until it stops. We have https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SPARK/Wiki+Homepage saying it is already over, but clearly we're not doing RCs.
We should make this more formal and predictable. We probably need a clearer definition of what changes in QA. I'm moving the wiki to spark.apache.org now and could try to put up some words around this when I move this page above today.
