Hah.  This should indeed be mentioned in calls for -RC testing, 
but probably doesn't deserve a bug report, since there's no bug. 
WDYT?

Kind regards,

Huh I don’t understand. :)  Had this been the 1.4.0 release, reconfigure
would be impossible, unless --allow-downgrades.  Is the actual release
commit always on master; do I overlook something?  Then feel free to
close.

I don't follow.  Could you explain?

> Is the actual release commit always on master

Yes.  Does this cancel out the previous question?  If so, I'll let 
you close the bug to avoid misunderstandings.

(But it's worth noting in future calls for testing, absolutely! 
Thanks for noticing.)

Kind regards,

Actually, that is what's known as ‘complete nonsense’ and the 
correct answer is, of course, ‘no’.

Hmm.  I'll have to actually test the RC to see what you mean. 
Sorry for the noise.

Kind regs,

Right.  This is fixed by commit
7fde16671523f3fc3bda0c07a47a1fa33f8675b1, which merges ‘version-1.4.0’
into ‘master’.

This is something we’ll have to do after the actual release too.

Thanks for the heads-up!
