Solid release. Beyond the new backends, the Tier system could help ease the load on maintainers. Right now it seems like all backends are equal and work the same, so this makes the situation clearer for anyone reading the docs.

We've also updated the rclone openapi package and introduced the RC changes.

Big thanks to Nick and the 31 contributors!
