I am ok with either. I don't think the count fix is destabilizing enough to warrant another RC. The fix seems simple and localized to me, but either people are confused, or they genuinely feel strongly enough that this is indicative of further problems and another RC will provide us with more time to find similar issues or perhaps just give everyone a sense of confidence in the release. There is also the fact that a lot of us are in Paris this week and and at least some of us will be in transit on the 26th so a one-week delay might be a good idea for that reason alone. -Rasmus
