 Here are the topics that have been cooking.  Commits prefixed with
 '-' are only in 'pu' (proposed updates) while commits prefixed with
 '+' are in 'next'.
 
-Many small low-impact topics have been merged to 'master' in
-preparation for 2.3-rc1 later in the week.  I see nothing pressing
-that remain in 'next' other than a few bugfixes I am hoping that we
-can merge and ship in the 2.3 final.
+First release candidate 2.3-rc1 has been tagged.  Please spend some
+time to find and fix regressions, instead of spending all time
+having fun with new and shiny toys ;-)
