I really doubt that most of the code for final releases (or rc) is tested better than what we currently have in trunk. We do releases for 2.1.x without real tests for most of the code base. We rely on user experience/tests. The version from trunk is used by several of us already in production, several people have tried it out and it seems that most of the problems have been fixed. So I really think that this qualifies for an RC release.
Not wishing to spread FUD and rain on the parade, but ... I think 2.2 is *massively* less tested than 2.1.x. The main reason 2.1.x goes out with not much testing is because it's been used in production by a very large number of people. How many are actually using 2.2 in production right now? Carsten, Daniel, Giacomo, Reinhard ... I guess at most < 10 sites?
I'd love to see 2.2 out the door and more people using it, but I'd also hate to see people's first experience of 2.2 be a buggy one.
Given that we're still seeing changes enough to kill Cruisecontrol, I'd suggest an 'M' is more suitable than an 'RC'.
And yes, I'm putting my money where my mouth is and trying to use 2.2 to build a site ;-)
