Maybe we should do that. Vishesh has a patch for Dolphin's filepreviewer that 
is also waiting, and with the akonadi Nepomukfeeder fixes, we could consider 
putting another release candidate in, do the actual release three weeks later 
than planned, BUT ship an SC with much improved Nepomuk, which will probably a 
lot of users happy. Aside from that, the testing initiative was geared up a 
bit late this time around, we only announced that in the last RC.

Who would be in favour of inserting another RC and three weeks to get 
Christian's and Vishesh's Nepomuk patches in *and* rockstable? Would it create 
any timing problems for distros that are going to ship 4.10? How does testing 
and user feedback look so far, with RC1?
