-v2.8-rc0 has been tagged; this is a preview for the next release.
+v2.8-rc1 at around the end of this week.
 
-In previous cycles, I often left many topics in 'next' when tagging
-this zero-th preview, but eventually merged them before the final.
-I decided to do things a bit differently for this cycle: a topic,
-once it hits 'next', will not be rewound and only refined and
-corrected with incremental updates, so the only effect such a late
-merge to 'master' before the final is that some topics are not as
-widely tested on 'master' before the final one is tagged.
-
-So this -rc0 is deliberately aggressive in that it includes all
-topics that have been cooking in 'next' that I think we can fix bugs
-that might still lurking in them before the final (it merges 25
-topics since the last batch to 'master').  The topics not merged to
-this preview, on the other hand, will not be considered for 2.8
-final, even though I might later succumb to the temptation to pick
-up ones that are in 'next' as of today ;-)
+Again, the topics that have not been cooked sufficiently in 'next'
+at this point will not be considered for 2.8 final, even though I
+might later succumb to the temptation to pick up ones that look
+trivially correct.  Those who have their topics merged to 'master'
+since v2.7 are expected to focus on responding to regressions and
+remaining bugs in their topics in 'master', and strongly encouraged
+to actively hunt for regressions and remaining bugs there, not in a
+random shiny new feature, during the pre-release period.

-
- Traditionally, the tests that try commands that work on the
- contents in the working tree were named with "worktree" in their
- filenames, but with the recent addition of "git worktree"
- subcommand, whose tests are also named similarly, it has become
- harder to tell them apart.  The traditional tests have been renamed
- to use "work-tree" instead in an attempt to differentiate them.
