Yes, but because there's no link on the main page and no 
installer, the RC's are effectively closed to the public because 
only people in the know will go through the trouble to get the 
RC's and install them.

I'm only talking about when the next release gets very to release 
should something like this be done. It'll make installing a new 
release far less risky business when it goes final. It'll improve 
confidence in the final product and further reduce or completely 
eliminate nasty surprises.

IMO doing this will have a similar positive effect like as we've 
seen with the improved release log.
