Yes, you should not pour the packagers over hundreds or thousands of users before they're announced. It is fine to use them for testing/finding regressions by circulating it within a small group of people that you know know and that will help with debugging possible packaging issues vs upstream bugs. > Another idea: What about weekly snapshots within the RC stage and forget > about the one week delay for distributions?

I suggest to do a RC2 on Tuesday (assuming that there is internet available during the KDE e.V. general assembly) and release them within a day or two.
