The right time is anytime between -rc1 and -rcN for the previous
release, where N is the last released -rc for that series. IOW, I should
have it before the next merge window opens, not a days into that window.

What are these? It's sitting in /sys/block/<dev>/drbd/, I don't see any
documentation or justification for that.

Why isn't it off in debugfs or similar instead?
