Will it do any harm if I publish the release (which is anyhow promoted
as RC4 on the milestones update-site) to the releases update-site in

I can only speak from the infrastructure perspective.
As I type this, 18 mirrors (our configured limit) are connected and
pulling in the final bits for some projects. As you can suspect, these
mirrors draw a noticeable amount of bandwidth. As more projects move
their files in their final locations, our 50-or-so mirrors will be
picking up the changes, and we'll be under some strain for the rest of
the week. That's why we call this "quiet week".
If some projects start publishing actual release bits, then we must also
deal with the added pain of supporting these user downloads. Since the
mirrors are not fully caught up, download.eclipse.org will be the only
server available. This will lead to congestion and grumpy users.
Don't underestimate the amount of users who "Check for updates" just out
of curiosity. It's also no secret that Eclipse has a big release
"sometime towards the end of June" so as the days go by, anxious users
get increasingly click-happy.
Back in the old days we didn't have a sync period, and releases where
quite chaotic.
