Done. It was posted to this list.

Certainly, but you're not the only one to decide what will be a
release candidate. As we've seen in this thread, hidden issues will be
raised.
Is it as efficient as it could be? No. But it *works*.

It happens. So we deal with it and move on. This issue *has been*
formally raised here on dev@, in this very thread. Some people just
don't like to take time away from their coding to file an issue. I
don't like to do it, and I suspect the same for Ivan. That is just the
way people work.
An issue has been filed now, for all the issue-oriented people. Done.
Process works.
My issue was with Hyrum's statement:
"Not that I can see. As per our project-wide consensus regarding
branching and releasing and release candidates and such, nothing in
the issue tracker means that there isn't a blocking issue."
To me, that reads as a casual disregard to Bert requesting that we do
NOT roll a release candidate until the issue is fixed.
