OK - but we have not reached that  state  either  yet,  I  think.  As
mentioned before, I have a problem to relate a deadline thing without
any direct impact on the code (as the closing of the merge window) to
a git tag which represents a certain state. "Merge Closed" definitely
represents  such  a  state,  but  then  we could issue "-rc1" as well
(using the same free interpretation as in Linux), and  it  would  not
indicate what has been asked for: the closinf of the MW.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
