Thanks all, I'll fail this vote as well, as there's a few more critical fixes that have landed, ex:
- *SPARK-60023:* cloud-write fix. - *SPARK-60109:* History Server end-event reparsing fix. - *SPARK-60110:* compaction fix preventing event loss. - *SPARK-60158:* performance fix, already included in RC2. There's a few other issues I'll keep an eye out, and re-roll after it.
