Overall I'm very satisfied with how the packages are updated or not, I think that users should rather start testing earlier (long _before_ feature freeze - starting with an RC is too late) instead of doing the feature freeze earlier. This needs some support from the community, users should be encouraged to test earlier.
Mmm. Some users may do that, but others may not. I don't even know how to install a pre-RC release. Are there isos? If there aren't, then you can not increase much the number of betatestesters to the masses.
IMO, you should instead slow the RC phase so that normal users can test that phase longer.
For 10.2, there were ISOs around from the beginning of Alpha, going through to Beta up to RCs. So there ARE indeed ISOs available. for the very brave, is alwys the availability of the Factory Tree (not yet suggested when using gnome and you want to use the comp, as the move from /opt/gnome to /usr gives some 'nice' problems as user) The RCs are mainly there to fix big errors but they should be as close to the final as possible. So it is unevitable that more users go with Alpha / Beta versions. My support is granted for this project and I stay with Factory and Snapshots.
