This is just plain and completely wrong. I don't know many big-ish
opensource projects that doesn't have release candidates, and I haven't
see any "distribution" targeted at end users using release candidates.

Have you ever see a Linux distribution shipping an rc kernel (that is
not only installable by explicit user action) for example?
