There should be nothing in 2.6.x-rc1 which wasn't in 2.6.x-mm1! _anything_ which appears in 2.6.x-rc1 and which wasn't in 2.6.x-mm1 was snuck in too late (OK, apart from trivia and bugfixes). If we decide that we need to fix the oh-shit-lets-slam-this-in-and-hope problem then I expect we can do so, via fairly relible means. But the first attempt at solving it should be to ask people to not do that.
