We used to call what's now Beta 1 a "Release Candidate" for similar reasons, but renamed it because it's not really a release candidate. Generally "Release Candidate" means "Thing that will get released if no new significant issues turn up". Our current usage matches that and we should stick with it. I don't like the idea of turning Release Candidate into a marketing term in order to encourage more testing.
