So after a couple of pretty small rc's, rc7 is much too big for mytaste.  By this time in the release, things should have calmed downmore than they apparently have.That said, I do blame most of it on the timing variation, notably howrc6 didn't have any networking updates in it, and the rc5 network pullwas right after the rc4 release. As a result, we have 2.5 weeks worthof networking stuff, and that makes rc7 look artificially bigger.That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
