It is important to keep in mind (we did not for the last ones) that
RCs should be tagged two days before their release, ideally. The
reason is to avoid to release a broken release, which totally defeat
the goals of a RC and delay the final release. This is part of the
release process RFC btw,
For the final release, given that we stick to the golden release
principle, it is not necessary. Tuesday should be enough so we have
enough time to get the mirrors updated, announces written, and all the
other things.
Cheers,
