[vtkusers] Announce: vtk 8.0.0.rc2 ready for testing

[Elvis Stansvik]

Hi Sankhesh,

Nice to see rc2 out, it has a fix for a problem I reported (thanks!). I'll
update our software probably later today.

See below though.

to ensure that they are tracked during the remainder of the 8.0 release
process.

Just wanted to remind about

https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk/issues/17058

which I think should be a blocker for 8.0.0. I couldn't find a way to set
the milestone when I reported, but I guess I just don't have the necessary
bits.

Just wanted to promote this issue a little, as I was afraid it was falling
through the cracks.

Thanks,
Elvis

Further, please base / rebase all 8.0 target branches off of the v8.0.0.rc2
tag (or earlier) to ensure minimal merge conflicts with the release branch.
