That ~1 week between "we merged" and "-rc1" is a nice time to go through that material and add it to mm-new. I think it smooths things out. I mean, this is peak time for people to be considering the new material? (ot, that backlog is always >400 emails and a lot of that gets tossed out anyway - either it's just too old so I request a refresh or there was a new version, or review was unpromising, etc).
