Oh, I have meant it completely other way around - if some release 
is made available through common channels it does not matter if 
it is called "beta" or "RC", people will just start using it. 
Remember the issue with UDA syntax?

In mature projects RC does not differ that much from actual 
release other than by extra regression fixes. But for D process 
is not THAT smooth enough and it will take some time to settle 
things down.
