The previous dev snapshot (rev. 1499347) build was July 5th. That was 8 days ago. So there has been over a week for anyone who was interested in doing more testing or reporting any new release blockers. With the RC I think we can be more focused and verify the fixed bugs and test around any areas that changed since the last dev snapshot. (Think of it this way: If Juergen had labeled the July 5th dev snapshot as "RC 1" and today's build as "RC 2", would any more testing have occurred? Would anything be different?)
