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)..
Yeah, -rc8 is clearly the best idea, why *wouldn't* one do it?!

We're talking literal "biblical burning bushes telling me to do a release" kind of events to skip rc8 by now.
If you do, it probably'll look like this:
