Oh, it's pretty much 100%.

I can't imagine what would make me skip an rc8 at this point.
Everything looks good right now (but not rc7, we had a stupid bug),
but I'd rather wait a week than fins another silly bug the day after
release (like happened in rc7)..

We're talking literal "biblical burning bushes telling me to do a
release" kind of events to skip rc8 by now.
