So, I think we should put off the embedder's guide until after the release. A lot of it has changed, and since we're still technically obligated to support the 3.x release tree for six months, that should buy us some time to figure out how that is going to work. Getting Cordova to work with a vanilla Android Studio project is a non-trivial task.
Given that everything else appears to be done, should we start voting on an RC for this? What do people think?
