Update on RSE Status

TM 3.0.2

• Post-mortem: DaveM - worked reasonably well, 1 consumer wants something fixed after the fact but have a workaround
• Martin: Build infra for 3.0.3 in place. Commits + Release into Mapfile should suffice. Version numbers must be updated (don't forget feature versions and site.xml). Martin wants committers to release and upversion themselves but is there to help in case of issues.
