Rc1-rc1 doesn’t make sense at all and is confusing. It still was confusing for People for beta-rc1. There is no beta-rc in the wild. Either we have a beta or RC but beta-rc? Wy we don’t use the build number for this or build date? When you download the nightly, there is a Long number in the titlebar, I think it was the date like NetBeans 9.0-dev-20180101 or smth like that. So why not using beta-20180303 and for RC too? So everyone knows, that this rc is the latest build or is 3 days old.
My 2 cents Cheers Chris Von: Wade Chandler Gesendet: Mittwoch, 30.

I think once one knows the reason it exists, they can understand it, but a release candidate for a release candidate, is just hard to say with a straight face IMO. I prefer the rc1-vc1 bit myself. Either way, I think folks will ask what it means, but at least the words for the shorthand match exactly what it is; voting candidate for a release candidate versus RC for an RC. My couple pennies.
