I was not talking about cutting a release candidate.  That would not
make sense in connection with sending out the message that finish-up
work is called for.

In my book, a "release candidate" is something fit for a release.
Exactly because we need to get people working towards that goal, I was
proposing to release 2.17.95 as a wakeup call.  There are still numbers
between 2.17.95 and 2.18.0.  Just not many.
