I'm worried about build identification. Either the switchover happens
before RC1, or after Final. I expect significant breakage from the
Mercurial switchover, so that should all be figured out before or after
the release.

FWIW, I'm pondering to do all remaining 2.5 release from svn, despite
the switchover to Mercurial, just so that the build identification
does not get harmed.

As a side note - I don't think two release candidates are really
necessary. So if it helps, it may be reasonable to drop one of them.
OTOH, I don't mind having two RCs, either.
