IMO, if any dire emergency fixes are necessary there should be an rc2, which then becomes the release version. But I understand that the goal is to have *no* dire emergency fixes, and so be able to go right from rc1 to release.
In particular, I am reading your policy on rc1 to mean that unlike in the past, even if someone reports "a bug" in rc1, it won't be fixed in 3.6.0 unless it is a "break the world" regression or a "brown bag release" level problem. Anything less significant will just get shipped.
Is that correct?
