Yes, that is what RC1 is for. It is supposed to be made immediately after branching, when entering feature freeze. It's status is basically no more than that of a random svn version. Perhaps "RC1" is a misnomer.

Perhaps we should call it "FF" (Feature Freeze) instead and rename RC2 to "CF" (Code Freeze)?
My understanding of RC in the software world is a Release Candidate, meaning we have removed every bug we could find and we think this software is now ready for release.
Therefore I think RC gives out the wrong impression and should not be used. Code Freeze or Preview Release sounds good to me.
However, I have decided to no longer continue as TC, if I was even TC to start with.
I am really sorry to hear this and hope you will reconsider.
I also hope you will reconsider. IMO, the assignment of a TC has proven to be one of the most successful ideas I've seen since I started following the project. The work you have done so far has been fantastic and I would like to see it continue.
