Yep, we just have to make sure we don't forget about it.

As long as you call it RC, don't make it known beyond batik-dev and
don't distribute it through the standard mirrors, no. See:
http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html#release-typeso

If you target a wider audience, then yes. In that case, build the
release files and put them on your ~/public_html/<something> (-->
people.apache.org/~<uid>/<something>) and then start a vote (on general,
cc batik-dev) referencing the files, ideally with MD5s. When the vote
passes the artifacts are pushed into the distribution space.
