After thinking this through a bit more, I am inclined to release RC1 with this noted as a known issue, unless there are other more compelling reasons to issues a second RC.
Why? - It is more-or-less by design that end users of Beam Python have dependencies shift under them; breakage and recovery (via pinning to known good versions) must be part of that design. - In many contexts, users will already know this and will have pinned dependencies which therefore won't be impacted. So I am still working through the other failures on https://github.com/apache/beam/pull/28663 to confirm if they are all benign before closing the vote. If someone wants to actually -1 the RC they can do that, but I won't (yet).
