3. current status (jreznik, 19:07:31)
   1. consider rc2 results to apply to rc3 as only the fedora-release-notes package was updated and after smoke testing there's confidence in functionality of rc3 (jreznik, 19:11:58)
   2. rc4 is prepared right now for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=810040 in case it will be needed (jreznik, 19:12:40)
   3. current status of rc4 - lives are done, dvd will be in 1 hours approx. (jreznik, 19:13:09)
   
   
4. blocker review (jreznik, 19:15:14)
   1. 3 Proposed Blockers (tflink, 19:16:03)
   2. 3 Accepted Blockers (tflink, 19:16:04)
   
   
5. (893331) unhelpful error when anaconda runs out of memory during package installation (tflink, 19:16:49)
   1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=893331 (tflink, 19:16:52)
   2. Proposed Blocker, anaconda, NEW (tflink, 19:16:55)
   3. AGREED: 893331 - RejectedBlocker - While this is an unfortunate failure mode, this has been true of previous releases and is very difficult to fix. Since this is not a regression, rejected as a blocker for F18 final. (tflink, 19:20:57)
   
   
6. (873144) pressing Esc kills plymouth screen (tflink, 19:21:34)
   1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=873144 (tflink, 19:21:34)
   2. Proposed Blocker, plymouth, VERIFIED (tflink, 19:21:34)
   3. this is VERIFIED and has been fixed, will be closed shortly and thus, doesn't need to be discussed here (tflink, 19:23:38)
   
   
7. (810040) F17/F18 xen/kvm/vmware/hyperv guest with no USB: gnome-shell fails to start if fprintd is present (tflink, 19:24:23)
   1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=810040 (tflink, 19:24:26)
   2. Proposed Blocker, fprintd, ASSIGNED (tflink, 19:24:28)
   3. AGREED: 810040 - RejectedBlocker AcceptedNTH - While a nasty bug, it was judged too much of a corner case to block release of F18 at this point (only a subset of xen VMs would hit this in certain install types). However, a tested fix would be considered for F18 final after freeze. (tflink, 20:00:46)
   
   
8. (893286) Final build of F18 generic-release / generic-release-notes is not in stable (tflink, 20:04:14)
   1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=893286 (tflink, 20:04:17)
   2. Accepted Blocker, generic-release, ON_QA (tflink, 20:04:19)
   3. this bug does not affect the F18 media and thus does not have to be VERIFIED to ship media (tflink, 20:04:54)
   4. the packages will be done before release and thus, this doesn't need to be closed prior to deciding on go/no-go (tflink, 20:06:41)
   5. this just needs generic-release-18-1 upkarmad so that it can be pushed to stable before GA (tflink, 20:12:09)
   
   
9. go/no-go (jreznik, 20:16:23)
   1. AGREED: RC3 is Go, but let's test RC4 and decide tomorrow based on the outcome of supplemental testing, finally decide tomorrow 2013-01-10 (jreznik, 20:37:51)
   2. AGREED: to do the final decision tomorrow at 16:00 utc, same channel (jreznik, 20:42:29)
