RC Status

[Jan Stolarek]

I just filled a bug report for a compile-time crash that happens on HEAD:

https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8686

Looks like this is fault of some dynamic stuff. I'm affraid that whatever the cause of this 
problem is it might have large impact if we release stable GHC with this issue unfixed.
