I don't think release candidate is the right term, for something that gets out 
more than a month before the final release.

To me, _release candidate_ means: if there's nothing really wrong in it we'll 
release it "as is".

IMHO this is more like a beta-2. There _will_ be changes (fixes) between that 
release and the final one, we can be sure of that.
