If it's to be released the 31st August, wouldn't it make more sense to
just call it 20.09?

I also wonder what kind of testing we should be doing until then. What
kind of changes usually happen during these rc? I assume applications
will start adopting once they get to base themselves onto the final
runtime anyway.
