    This helps ensure the candidates build OK before we push them out

When is the release expected? (How long do we have to try building?)

We try to ship an RC on Wednesday, then release on Monday.
If there are no problems found in this RC, I expect we'll release on
Friday or Saturday.

Serialization still fails to build on VS2013. This is due to tickets #9279/#8750 not being merged to release from trunk. Robert sent me a direct email saying "See my previous post on this thread to see why we're stuck here." but I've not been able to figure out to what he's referring.

I'm also seeing the serialization failures with msvc-12.0.
