Has anybody considered simply removing the words "Release Candidate" from the splash screen? So far, the countless emails on this topic seem to point out the shock and confusion that a new user will experience when seeing "Release Candidate". The emails seem to try and extend this reasoning to make points about the exception process, the getdeb project and the philosophy of "Ubuntu" as a whole. Whatever my view on the rest of the issues (the debate on which seems to generate a lot of noise while progressing very little), I can see that it isn't very professional to have something labelled "Release Candidate" in the default install when the final version is available. Is there any reason that we cannot just wipe off those words? I appreciate that the included version is not the final version, but with the patches that Ubuntu includes, it isn't really the release candidate either. Worst case scenario, we could have the splash screen without the RC, but with an "Ubuntu version" comment.
