Yep, end of year has always collided with our release cycle.

Perhaps we should change this latter as proposed by Remi ?


Also, we had another idea.

Why not use RC2 as a chance for some security patches to get tested ?
If we have a RC2 (which is not bad IMO, we have a time slice here at
end of 2015 that enables us to release an RC2) , we then could merge
into this one some well-selected security patches, f.e, some that are
*low* classified , aka that can't get trigerred remotely by user
payload.

What you think ?

CCing Stas as well, as he got many experience in security.
