Alexander,

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.

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.
