RC1 is tagged and release tarball generated.

We still have 2 issues to work on,

1. The above messages from AFR in self heal logs

2. We need to test with Py3, else we risk putting out packages there on
Py3 default distros and causing some mayhem if basic things fail.

I am open to suggestions on how to ensure we work with Py3, thoughts?

I am thinking we run a regression on F28 (or a platform that defaults to
Py3) and ensure regressions are passing at the very least. For other
Python code that regressions do not cover,
- We have a list at [1]
- How can we split ownership of these?

@Aravinda, @Kotresh, and @ppai, looking to you folks to help out with
the process and needs here.
