I was all confused about this comment because I had already edited out
the "for 6.19-rc4" part of the message on auto-pilot when I was going
through the email and was looking for the error and wondering "what is
Simona talking about?"
I had to go back and look at the original tag contents to go "Oh, _that_".
Which shows that I really only start paying attention to version
information during the later part of the release cycle, when pull
requests might be for the next merge window.
During rc3 I just assume it's fixes for the current release and would
only react if the diffstat or the explanations said something else...
