Yes. That is an RC for a major release version and there aren't any
show-stopper bugs or comparability issues in the previous release that
would force us to skip ahead to get the bugs ironed out. At this point
I'm having a heck of a time keeping stable systems using TH which is
supposed to be STABLE. Adding more backwards incompatible libraries to
the dependency mess is going to make that worse, not better.
