I think it's clear that we have to wait for a Serf bugfix release before releasing RC3, and during that time our soak period is simply on hold. What happens after Serf 1.2.1 is released depends on the changes there. If it's just a trivial bugfix for the digest authn issue, then we can simply continue our soak (of which there are, IIRC, another two weeks). If not -- then we're faced with a significant change in a non-optional dependency and I can't think we can wiggle our way out of restarting the soak in that case.
