Yup, but it is still an RC. Do not confuse that with a Release. Just because a 
tag is applied soes not mean it won't be moved. Feel free to add to this any 
time Dirk!

You are giving false information asying that the KDE 3 has been released, it 
hasn't. I have seen these tags moved lots of times and it is not set ins 
stone. But, it does give a reference point.

I am looking at my CD collection from when I participated in Microsnots 
testing of Win2K. I surely remember more than one RC and some pretty major 
changes between the candidates. and look, they actually released a pretty 
decent product. The world didn't come to an end, to bad they went and screwed 
it up with XP. Anyways, the purpose of a release cand. is to simulate an 
actual release. You don't plan on second and third candidates you should be 
at a point you are planning on an actual release so why tag an RC 
differently?
