I cannot answer in the committers-only topic, but wanted to ask for clarification about the wording here. I’m presuming that “from this point forward” actually refers to rc1 at the latest, or were there any ABI-breaking changes since then? This is relevant as we’re starting to rebuild conda-forge in anticipation of CPython 3.12 (as it happens, based on the ABI of rc2).
OK, that’s what I was hoping/expecting, thanks! I’d suggest to perhaps adapt the announcement formulation slightly, to make it a bit clearer that there are no ABI breaks anymore after entering the rc-phase (“from this point forward” is only accurate for rc1, and a bit misleading for rc2 etc.)
