I understand that you fear "late breakage", because you have been involved in such events a couple of times in the past. It's just natural to learn from such mistakes and try to prevent them in the future. In order to address that, I propose making a release candidate announcement to a wider audience. The GCC folks regularly use their announce mailing list for pre-releases. If we do the same, it would help us tremendously to put the spot on our release candidates and receive more diverse feedback. Any opinions? - Sascha
