I'm -1 on RC0 as it is. The current release notes don't include any call out about the upgrade steps needed. Since we don't usually have minor-version specific upgrade steps and especially since there are things folks need to do before installing 2.2.0, it's important that they be front and center. Possibly that should mean a link to the ref guide section from the RC instructions and eventual announcement.
I think either HBASE-21075 needs to have 2.2.0 included in its fix version or the release note from that issue needs to be copied over to HBASE-21970 and it needs to have 2.2.0 included in its fix version(s). In either case the release notes should link to the ref guide section.
