[Brian Bouterse]

Here is a draft of the rc2 announcement to pulp-list that will go out with
the release next week:     https://etherpad.net/p/KPmM2HooDf   I was not
planning on making a blog post.

If you have any suggestions or feedback please let me know; also feel free
to go ahead and just make some changes.
