That's certainly what we all would like to see. Still we need to check whether it's possible to do that without releasing seriously broken stuff. Because that would even be worse PR. Look up rushed "Gnome 1.0" on the internet. Back then they rushed the release out of the door just for an announcement during LinuxWorld (and Redhat 6.0 inclusion). And this did hurt them a lot more than the "advantage" of being "right in time". Yes, many people remember them releasing during LinuxWorld however the same and even more people remember that this release was really really bad.

Tell a reasonably estimated date when printing will be done (unless you get hit by a car) and chances are much higher that okular's showstoppers can get considered while planning the release. So are you able to tell whether printing will be ready by Wednesday 21st (just like plasma will have stuff ironed out by then) ?

If people who are responsible for the last few real showstoppers can up to their best knowledge be sure that the last few showstoppers will be ironed out by next wednesday then we should move the RC1 to Wednesday 21st. Given that a higher RC release frequency is pretty normal for software development I'd suggest that we still stick with the RC2 milestone Dec. 5th. As all real showstoppers should be ironed out with RC1 I don't expect that we need a full three weeks for the next RC 2 release after (unless there are any organizational issues left).
