I'm not talking about your 1.0 release candidates, for now it will remain
with the Alpha release series. We can give our series a new name, perhaps go
with "Gamma" or "Upsilon" or maybe even "Zeta" or another greek character in
order to move into a 0.9.x release stage, but not into 1.0 releases.

All the maps that I have access to (the original maps that my system
downloads) are all ignored properly, so I don't know what you are talking
about.

A branch for the release candidate is quite critical to allow for other work
to continue, but to maintain the release-candidates feature freeze.


It makes more sense to me to have master as the bug fixed RC branch :P

Then we wouldn't easily be able to do a feature freeze on this longer RC.
