I don't believe that's changed. I guess we have another step in the

gets one last final checkover before being released. Progress, I
guess. ;)

Is that another step, or just a euphemism for beta? I'm betting it's
just the last...

It's really another step. With a beta, bugs are expected. With an RC,
the hope is there aren't any bugs (or at least no showstoppers) and
that it can be released as the final.

If it's felt that the bugs are gone, why isn't it a final release?
