A few general guidelines I use are that a typical topic spends 1
week in 'next' (a trivial one-liner may be there for much shorter
time, an involved multi-patch topic that touches the core part of
the system may have to spend more), that an involved topic that is
not in 'master' by rc0 would not appear in the next release, and
that any topic that is not in 'master' by rc1 needs compelling
reason to be in the next release.  So it is cutting a bit too close
for this topic, it seems, but we'll see.
