Jim, you said this on irc yesterday too, and I'm having as hard a time
understanding it now as I did then...

If nothing changes between RC1, RC2, RC3, etc, then why is someone going to
the trouble of making a series of ISO images and releasing them?  Certainly
there are no major new additions of functionality, but something must be
changing to justify the creation of a new release candidate?
