We did manual and automation test against the RC build. From the test result, it looks good enough to support vote +1. Long run testing will keep running over 130 hours, for what I can tell now, the test runs smoothly, we may need another 60 hours to complete the whole test. But I don't see any reason to demote this RC.(Anyway RC vote is already closed) If there is any critical issue found, we will speak out in time.
