I think James said the manual bug is P3, so will not block release, so
if he wants to fix it in time (before 21:00 GMT on February 28), that's
fine, but it does not warrant another rc afterward.

I think the recent rc's have been closer together in time, too, so that
can account for some of the differences in numbers.
