The fact that we still need a 4400+loc patch to fix the security
subsystem tells me
whatever we release next week cannot possibly be a release candidate, but at
best a beta3, especially since you say that a next round of hardening is in
the plans: nothing bad about it per se, but bad that it's needed since RC means
Release Candidate, means we believe we're done and ask the users to
check and eventually tell us otherwise.

Hopefully GSIP 77 will bring some sanity into all of this.

Btw, I have no time to review the patch, I can have a look during the weekend
but my familiarity with the new authentication system is not enough.
I'll trust Justin's judgement on it unless my quick review really
finds some red flag.

Cheers
Andrea
