The distinction between TC and RC is large in that an RC1 *could* be final 
release. And since this particular bug wasn't in TC6 but was in the very next 
build, RC1, I think that's consistent with suggesting more time between an RC 
and a go/no-go. I'm not saying e.g. maybe there shouldn't be freeze exception 
fixes in RCs. Just a bit more time when certain packages are touched.

Although even better than that would be more recruitment of Mac users to do 
installation testing, so that it's possible to get installation tests done for 
at least RC1s. I tested it in a VM, foolishly not testing it on baremetal. RC2 
hit, and I missed that since RC3 came soon after and immediately tested that on 
baremetal. But between RC3 and go/no-go was a matter of hours.
