That was my first thought. And as I used a Stable net-install disk
for my first tests of Stable, the system would have been up-to-date
after the install. But it's been two weeks since that time. I've added
X, a window manager, utilities, apps, etc. Based on my past
experience, historically, there should have been some fixes. I've
never come across any such new release -- Debian or others -- that
didn't need a plethora of fixes in those few days to a month after. Or
perhaps Stretch is bug free. Or as I said in another post: Maybe the
maintainers are taking a vacation.
As far as RC2: I dist-upgraded it to Stable in the course of my tests.
And as soon as it hit stable, apt-get upgrades ceased producing
anything for a week. So, I downloaded the Stable net-install CD for a
new install to see if there was any differences.
