I personally do not think that "RC is an overloaded concept", but that's indeed off-topic here.
Inventing a completely new abbreviation does remind me of this however: https://xkcd.com/927/ I am not really interested in the discussion whether Apache uses RC or VC or XC or something entirely different. But I would appreciate a message on _this_ list if new versions are made available for testing to the users.
