Delaying dvdnav until after 1.0 would be a bit disappointing, and
allowing big changes between RCs wouldn't be in line with the term
Release Candidate.

Possibly releasing a RC0 (so not really a RC) instead of RC1 on the
"deadline" has a certain appeal and thus giving dvdnav (and only
dvdnav?) a second chance to make the deadline.
