Markus and others:

I have been mostly lurking on this discussion. Are there any reasons why we 
can't get the RC1 out today, besides the diverging comments? Do the module 
names really matter in an RC? I think that it should be a top priority to get 
*something* based on 6.4 into QGIS 1.0.

Let me know if there is something I can do to make this happen.

Cheers,

Dylan
