Notes:
- Hawthorne
- Not waiting for any new features to land in Hawthorne, just bug and security fixes.
- So RC2 should not have a major delta from RC1
- Having to take downtime for openedx releases is not long-term tenable.
- Elton to work with JMW to figure out what we want to do to make things better.
