At least they still test "real" releases.. So instead of making sure rc is really "release-candidate", we want to trick people to test -pre as "real release", soon people will realize it and just stop testing even real releases. The trick won't last. What other names will we try then? Seriously, this is silly and the focus is wrong, and will accomplish nothing but confusing people one more time. Let's start by making rc really "release-candidate", not something with last-minute unpredictable random changes. Why should I test rc when I know the final release will be much different anyway? What is worse is that we actually _complain_ about the fact that people do not take rc seriously, while the release management doesn't take it seriously itself.
