Christian, Thanks for these comments. I highly doubted RC2 would get through, since nobody had been checking on my understanding of what I had read/seen.
I shall wait for the period to expire as is (I think) customary with voting, but I will not be releasing RC2, based on these fairly fundamental issues. Comments from other PMC on anything else missed here are welcome. Lets see how RC3 fares :) (expect it on Wednesday/Thursday).
