RC timeline for 7.8 REDUX

[Richard Eisenberg]

As someone CC'd on this email directly, I'll answer for myself: While I've benefited from the delay to fine-tune the behavior of certain bits & bobs, I didn't request the delay nor do I believe myself responsible for generating or needing to fix any "blocking" feature. Please correct me if I'm wrong here. From my vantage point, I'm ready to move to RC, and have been for some time.
