We are down to two blockers: one is about publishing artifacts and the other I'm not sure it is an issue (1554). In fact, I would really appreciate if I could get some feedback on ZOOKEEPER-1554.
Next I want to make sure that a few of the patches related to compiling on Windows and Mac OS are in, and we could perhaps consider the critical ones. If nothing comes up, I was thinking about cutting the first release candidate in about 2 weeks time. -Flavio
