Apparently too much for you to do it yourself? I'm pretty sure we are well past the point of diminishing returns on this thread, so let me try to close it. In sum: -Rolling a new RC may not be a great deal of effort, but it does cost us in terms of time and energy and perception of how hard it is to be an RM and hitting deadlines like Chris's talk that help us grow. -The normal release process will provide a week or two for a Last Call to try to provide a window to deal with all big ticket issues, not just policy/legal ones. -Once there is general consensus that the big ticket items have been addressed and the RC is rolled out, I believe it would be better for the community to make the release process quick and fun and postpone controversial and detail issues until after the release vote is complete. Doing so, might help us grow faster. Doing what we are currently doing is certainly not attracting new release managers and resulting in frustration for those who have actually committed code that they want to release. Can we all agree to do our part to change the old pattern and see if it helps the community? Thanks, -Alex
