And there's the rub. I certainly wouldn't like to be running 2.6 after a 
few quick tests, on our live server. It's going to be difficult enough 
working out how to test, and then there's the bug fixing!


Release candidate sounds like a good idea to me. As I've said, releasing 
a bad build, that everyone's been waiting for, is a bad idea even from a 
marketing perspective...

(release candidate doesn't solve UHI's deploying 2.6 in mid Aug though...)
