I think that we need a lot more RCs, and on the contrary they should be more
frequent, a lot more frequent. Updating a cooker machine is not the same
than installing the distribution from scratch, considering the updating
scripts do not have the same effects.
For example, there should be 1 RC per 10 days or 2 weeks. Go for a RC5 or
RC6, it does not matter if one or two bugs have been squashed, but this way
you will attract more beta testers.

If you want that more people test the beta versions, you need to consider
the human psychology : the more the figure will be big, the more people will
want to try the distribution. I even suggested after 9.1 to lie about the
actual release date. Maybe this would not be really useful though.
