No, only serious and above are considered RC [1] and also for migration.

This week, Paul Gevers and I spent some time discussing ways to move
this transition forward.

Referring back to some of your previous emails below.

We see the upload of lme4 1.1-35.1-2 on 2023-11-14 [2], and the
changelog mentions a rebuild, but the upload of r-cran-rcppeigen
0.3.3.9.4-1 on 2023-11-03 [3] happened before the upload of matrix
1.6-2-1.  Does r-cran-rcppeigen still require a rebuild?

We don't believe only touching debian/changelog, or a binNMU, is
sufficient.  We were surprised that your r-cran-lme4 upload did not at
least include:
Depends: r-cran-matrix (>= 1.6-2-1)
Without that relationship, r-cran-lme4 could migrate to testing and be
installed on users' systems without the corresponding version of
r-cran-matrix.  It is no surprise that the excuses page for lme4 [4]
is all red, because that is exactly what is being tested.  More on
this to come in my next email.
