[Matplotlib-devel] mpl 1.5.1?

[Benjamin Root]

If anything, the rc process is good for vetting the correctness of the
binary builds. We do conflate the beta and rc process to be the "rc
process", and I agree that we don't need a beta testing period for 1.5.1,
but an rc should still be done so that people can report issues with the
binary builds. Note, this can be very short (just a couple of days, really).
