Great, so I'll make a motion on this in the next days unless any
objection pops up before.

it seems that there are no objections :-) Martin

reading it again, I would say that in some cases upcoming RC2 could be
released as final. Eg. for upcoming 7.0.2 we have RC1 released. In two
weeks should become RC2, in this case I can image to release final
instead of RC2. So alternative roadmap could be:

Step 3 (X+30 days) - Hard freeze & RC1
Step 4 - Bug squashing
Step 5 (X+44 days) - Final.

In other words I would make RC2 as optional step only we will need it.
It can happen that two RCs could be overkill. What do you think?

The idea of the RC2 was to provoke some more last-minute testing as some fixes might have been introduced after RC1 and I'm not sure how many people test the release branch between RC's. This way we make it more prominent and can send out a call to everyone to please test RC2. This does not mean that RC2 cannot be identical to final. It's just a last chance to spot any serious issues.

So, I would plead for leaving it in. 5 days more or less is not that much, or ?
