Would it be reasonable to do a RC of this release sooner? There have been a lot of cherry picks that I would like to start testing with

@meteorcloudy @Wyverald thoughts on getting RC1 out before 10/7?

Maybe matters less to me now that https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/commit/e43c933a99d204a270e4264e46a7a2d038d3aa7a is in, but I'm sure more people would test a real RC

We still have many release blockers to be resolved, I'm afraid that moving the cut date earlier would put too much pressure on other people.

Nice, for anyone who wants to test earlier, they can just use the latest commit from the release branch. Other people can wait until all release blockers are resolved for 7.4 before testing.

We're pushing back the rc1 date for 7.4.0 by two days (to 2024-10-09). In hindsight, planning 8.0.0rc1 and 7.4.0rc1 on the same date was maybe not the best idea :P
