Heads up: there will be an RC4, but the change will be very small:

http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=anaconda.git;a=commitdiff;h=f6feb3434438fa7f947ab79b9ecb44854979046d

one line :)

It fixes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=823861 . All RC3
testing (except the serial install test, obviously) will still be valid,
so please go ahead with testing RC3. I'll transfer RC3 results into the
RC4 matrix once RC4 is built. Thanks!
