I'm sorry, but just no. You clearly didn't think that through: if they are affected by this issue then they won't be able to get the updated kernel, surely you thought of this? The whole point of the release candidate stage is to catch critical bugs and this bug /is/ critical as you are prevented from updating your installation and so cannot EVER be free of the bug short of downloading the packages to USB.
