They should be able to. Since we won't have had a GA release (JCP rules) until Mustang ships, it seems any critical bug that we find and fix between Sep 15th and Mustang shipping has the potential to require a new release candidate and new vote.

Not sure I understand the point of this paragraph. I thought the JCP rules mean we can't make 10.2 GA in mid-Sep, thus it seems to be a hypothetical impossible situation. Dan.
