But the installer has to be reasonably finished before the rc phase starts.
In my opinion, far too many features were being actively developed during the
beta period: for example: mdkkdm, installer, mcc, galaxy and there are
others. All of those things should have been pretty close to done for the
first beta. There were major changes to all of them between beta3 and rc1.
