As I find 2.3.0-dev stable enough to be renamed 2.3.0-rc1 and released (with some minor things deactivated for now as I said previously), I don't think it's a good idea to release 2.2.7-rc1, because we are about to release 2.3.0-rc1 and I fear that 2.3.0-rc1 would not get the same kind of testing from users.
New features cause new bugs. We need a stable release as a backup, as a reference.
I also think about support forums, where it will be easier to support only one new version instead of 2 new versions.
Sorry if this bothers your agenda, or other developers' agenda who believed in the idea of 2.2.7.
It bothers me indeed. Let's have a compromise: If 2.2.7 contains bugs, these bugs have to appear in 2.3.0, too, because 2.2.7 is only a bugfix release for 2.2.6. I'll go on merging fixes into 2.2.7 and we release a 2.2.7-final without any RCs together with 2.3.0. Would that be OK for you?

Yes.
