No, we haven't.
An archive check is running as I type, that's the easy part. However, the
results need to be checked, and even though Niels already volunteered to
take a look, I expect the diff to be quite big.
More eyes, and hands, are welcome; installing the RC and starting with one's
packages would be great.
