I upgraded my machine overnight and released rc3 on Sunday.

And honestly, at that point I did not *CARE* about coordinating. I had
expected things to work, since I knew people had been working on it,
and since F42 had already been released.

The fact that you then complain about a "unreleased compiler version"
is ludicrous.

If you had fixes for it, and they hadn't made it to me, that is 100% on *you*.

My problem was that my kernel didn't build, and that is what I needed
to fix. It was way too late to worry about "coordinating" things at
that point.
