Ack.

Ultimately, I could envision a mostly automated release 
management:

1. Nightly builds aka alpha versions (auto)
2. Nightly builds which pass testsuite = beta versions (auto)
3. Declare major releases (manually)

The concept of release candidates is merely a social concept in 
my view. They are basically used to start a discussion for 
consensus and get manual processes like Release Notes rolling. 
This means there is a manual step between 2 and 3, which consists 
of "declare beta version 42 = release candidate 2".
