What you are proposing IMO is confusing and clutters up the release tag space: "rel" stands for "releases", not for "candidates for releases that may be completely broken" :-(
It is of zero use to downstream users, and it is only being proposed out of the convenience because some tool does it, not because it's correct and best thing to do. We know what the candidates are already based on the tags in the emails which are forever archived.
