I think that PMA currently doesn't display the queries if a user submit more
than 15 ones, am I right?
imho this is a good solution and we should keep it for the parser behavior
as well.

We submitted a lot of important bugfixes since RC2 so we shouldn't wait with
the release of RC3 anymore.
But we do need your new parser and it needs to be tested before the release.
Furthermore, there are still some bugs to fix, so I'd suggest the following
new schedule:

RC3: July 14th
RC4: July 28th
FINAL: August 11th

btw, I'm going to be away for vacation from July 20th till August 3rd and
from August 23rd till August 25th.
