Hi Dan... Thanks for the update, and IMHO if Sergey is not ready to do that, so the approach you took is the correct one. But this will lead, and I am sorry to say that, to vote (-1) on RC2 and we should start a new one after [1] is being resolved. But believe me, thats very normal and it happens all the time even in TLP projects :), so don't make something out of this to disappoint you ;).
