Assuming there is limited time between Beta and RC releases I'd prefer
to release these versions on Mondays or during first half of the week.
Otherwise there might not be enough Beta testers "active" during the
first few days of the release period, meaning: bug reports (and later on
bug fixes) might get delayed just for scheduling reasons.

We release them as fast as we can and going to other days would mean a
change to our long loved processes. Basically Releasing on monday would
mean we have to finish internally on friday without any buffers - and
then lose the weekend for testing... We've learned to prefer to start
doing the first isos on tuesday and release them asap - and that means
release them on thursdays,
