I like option c. The count bug looks like it could break a bunch of
apps, so releasing with it is possible but not ideal. Since we have a
fix for it I'd just wait another week. Not releasing on holiday is also
a plus in my book (not enough by itself to wait another week but in
conjunction with the actual serious bug in my opinion it tips the scale).
P.S. of course I also assume if somebody discovers huge bug before the
3rd we'd have to reconsider, but otherwise we should assume RC8 is the
future GA tag.
