Provided that we need an RC3, it's a "yes" from me for all three of
them, because firstly, they will all improve the perceived quality of
the release, and secondly, none of them introduces behavioral changes
from RC2, i.e. as far as these changes are concerned, people who have
already done some testing with RC2 can seamlessly continue with RC3
without having to start over.

The other issue you mentioned, i.e. the one where functions end up in
the wrong area, does indeed look quite serious, so we might indeed need
an RC3.
