Ugh, bad timing.

Immediately before a release is the worst possible time to be applying
non-critical patches. I think better options are to
(1) commit now, using the RC release's version as the minimum, or
(2) wait till just after our release cycle.

Of course, if we only plan to commit to HEAD and not back-patch,
this is all moot.
