This is a Catch 22... If it is installed in parallel, then it can't be named
a Release Candidate because it doesn't behave like one :)

I agree totally on two releases for the real release code.

Not really. It's just an argument that if releases are too close, developers
will only have time to fix blockers :)
So not so critical bugs tend to accumulate. This could mean that it will
loose quality as it goes along if it there are no major obstacles ;)

See previous answer :)
It doesn't create more resources but it provides more time to clean up the
slate until the next batch of bugs is introduced :)

This is my way to say thanks and to give something back in return for the
program that was offered to me.
I wish more people would do the same... even if they can't code ;)

Best regards,
Pedro
