I assume, upstream are aware of karmic's release schedule[1]? That'd be good, 
and I'm personally in favor of having upstream supported versions in the 
release.

Release happening at Oct 15 might be a bit short of time, due to Ubuntu's 
FinalFreeze starting there. Bugfixes (and I assume rc -> release would mean 
bug fixes only) could still go in though.

That said, I'm also raising this on ubuntu-studio-devel (CC'd) for further 
input.

Cheers,
    Stefan.
