No, you should continue to provide bug fixes and updates as well!! :-) Thats one of the reasons why I am a club member. But what you should consider, is to use a little bit longer time and have a RC3 cykle also. It is a pity that MDK has got a reputation(from people I talk with) to be a little bit buggy distribution. An RC3 will give people like me, that cant take the risk to put a beta version into production, the chance to do some final testing on a release, that hopfully is stable enough for a production environment. So why this suggestion? Because I do not have that many PC for testing and I have to test it on my "production" laptop as well. Did this with 9.2 RC2. Steinar :-)
