Well, in a busier project there is the danger that others may make commits to the trunk while the RC is still being voted on. If it passes, it's somewhat tricky to then make the tag. Actually, some of the maven and site-build cleanups going around at the moment are good examples of how a project's trunk might get patched even when a project has a small developer pool that have agreed to hold back their patches until the release happens. Making a tag in subversion has exactly the same price as checking in one new file, ie is trivial. I think the existing release advice is therefore good; creating a tag for an RC should be the regular practice.
