But which "miscellaneous also-ran junk" is actually holding up the
release? As far as I understand, what you speak of is the packages
where the release manager's policy should *already* be "drop from
testing rather than wait for RC bugs to be fixed".

The subset of the "miscellaneous also-ran junk" that is not actually
buggy in testing will not harm anyone by being distributed.
