That doesn't even confuse me!
I actually second Matt's request; -RCs � la 2.4.
Then your above becomes: 2.6.x-rc: bugfixes only 2.6.x-pre: bugfixes and features
And then that doesn't confuse end users either.
Not to mention that if we adopt a strict release candidate release style (ie. last -rc is renamed to release), then you get to move some of the burden of testing to the end user. Hopefully that will encourage more people to test -rcs rather than "tricking" them into doing the testing.
And if we really make an effort to only do the first -rc with the expectation that it will be the *only* one, then that will be a pretty good incentive to test.
