Hi Ben,

So far only one company has run regression tests and reported results on
the RC (pass). I am waiting to hear back from some others before
release. There is a maintainers call tomorrow where I will be asking
about status of validation, so may have a clearer idea after that.

Thanks for asking/sharing, it is good to know if there is a pull for a
release because sometimes it is not clear.

Kevin.
