This didn't feel like a particularly busy rc2, but it clearly
was. rc2 is usually the quietest time when people take a breather

Nothing looks particularly odd, even if the rc2 timing is a bit
unusual. It might be just random, but we'll obviously all blame it
on AI, because whether that's really the cause or not, it's an easy
thing to blame ;)
