Both bugs were there before and we did not have much traffic on them, so 
I think they are for limited use cases only. Even though I agree that 
releasing with known bugs is not ideal (although there are still quite a 
few old bugs in the bug tracker...), I also think we should not extend 
RC periods (and numbers) too much.
