I like to use the RC date for changes.xml (which I forgot to do when I recently RM'd Commons CSV 1.4!) If the RC becomes the release, then you are done. If the RC does not, then update the date again for the next RC. I think that is 'sane' step. Our Maven plugin could be changed to do this so it becomes a command line thing instead of a manual edit.
