> It is good that RC1 on Jan.11th is a hard deadline. We also need ensure that RC1 is a complete package with all features. If RC1 is out but missing some big features, then the test results on RC1 vs RC2 may have big difference. 
> So, could we ensure that RC1 is a complete feature package, if any feature missing RC1, then we may postpone the feature to 17.05? Does it make sense? 

Absolutely, yes.
