That's actually quite normal, or rather: distros get the first set of packages 
always, then usually some problems pop up and the branch is either re-tagged 
or the patches in question added to the tag.

Distros just shouldn't directly release the stuff to their users before we say 
"yes, this is the actual release". We could ask the packagers to be a bit more 
careful.

We *could* do a second RC, but I don't see a huge amount of value in it *right 
now*. Tagging won't happen before the end of Akademy, add a couple of days 
until it's out (see the dance above), so the release is really, really close 
to the 4.3.0 release (which is of course also tagged one week before).

So if no major thing pops up, -1 from my POV.
