Just the release candidate; I don't have the courage to push a final
release with _no_ release candidates, and we haven't had any for 1.24.

That said, if RC1 is well received and raises no issues demanding a code
change, I see no reason not to go to final release after that.  (That's
kind of my definition of a "release candidate"--if it builds and runs
and no defects arise warranting code changes, it's a successful
"candidate".)

What I took away from the 1.22.4 and 1.23.0 release cycles shows was
that 2 weeks is about as long as we need for RC feedback.  I remember
being frustrated that holding the RC window open for a third week didn't
seem to accomplish much.

It's my first time doing this officially for groff, of course.  I'm open
to feedback or suggestions about release management.

Regards,
Branden
