I think it's OK to plan for more than one release candidate, it's quite en vogue to do that currently (look at Linux for example). The point is that we *would* like to see it bugfree by -rc1 of course (though we do expect people to find bugs). Calling it another beta would not communicate clearly that we really think we're getting close (to both, devs and testers). Thanks for the input and checking the dates, though. -- sebas http://www.kde.org | http://vizZzion.org | GPG Key ID: 9119 0EF9 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Unix is user-friendly.
