If we feel the -rc is as good (or even better) for Tails users than
the -stable is, then I think it shows our policy would be enhanced if
it were changed to "latest stable or RC release, as we think is best
for Tails users at freeze time". I could easily back it off if others
have problems with it, though.

I fully agree the average Tails user uses the WWW, does not care about
the Internet, and thus does not care about non-A records. For ethical
reasons, I'd rather not to see Tails contribute too much in this
trend, and I'd love to see Tails able to perform basic Internet
non-WWW tasks such as resolving MX requests. OTOH, I've been living
with this inability since Tails beginnings, so solving it is for sure
no emergency at all :)
Bye,
