I've been using 3.12.0-RC1 for the last days and it's working well so far. =
I got just a few notes.

- There's firefox-esr and firefox in community repo now. Are they equally m=
aintained? Which one is recommended? It's been clear in the past (with fire=
fox-esr in community and firefox in testing) that you should choose firefox=
-esr for stability and better support. What now?

- python3 doesn't provide a python binary or symlink, just a python3. The e=
nd-of-life python2 still owns `python`. For the next RC it should be the ot=
her way around?

- Are there any guides for syslinux installation on modern (UEFI) boards? I=
 couldn't get it to work and ended up using GRUB.


I'll keep using this RC and let you know if any bug pops up but so far it's=
 good.
Congrats!
