Okay, as David seems to be quite excited too, I'd like to quickly explain
what the stable-rc ISO is.
Basically, it's exactly the ISO we'd release as 0.9.5 stable. In fact, we
could have called it 0.9.5 and released it. But we're holding back for a
bit so everyone can test it for a bit, and if any unexpected fatal flaws
do come up, we can fix them without having to re-release stable :-).
Not that I expect that to happen, though. I hope that this file will
become 0.9.5.

At least, it's no longer "oh, if you use the latest stable, you have to
pay attention when updating to glibc-kernel-headers, foo, bar, ..." :-)

You're welcome :-)

So Far,
