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. Eric
