Thanks everyone for clarifying.

Maybe it was just me, but I wasn't aware that we were going to release the RCs 
for distribution, hence my confusion about all the current voting rounds we are 
going through. 
I thought the RCs were just intended for the ESME community to do smoke/stress 
tests before the actual release and that we would have a formal vote when we 
agreed that an RC is technically fit for a release. 
But I have been a bit busy at work these days, so I guess I just missed the RC 
vs point-release discussion on the list, my bad.
