Yes and no :) We publish alpha/betas - yes. No change there. But for RCs what we publish in SVN currently are the packages that are built fro RC tag but without rc suffix - so that when they pass the voting we upload them to PyPI without regenerating them (RC becomes final).
But we do not publish the PYPI RCs - since PYPI uploads are immutable, we need to publish PYPI RCs with the rc suffixes. So far we just generated them and published to PyPI for testing but we did not upload them to SVN. So if we want to pull RCs from SVN - we need to upload there both: the RC version for PyPI (with RC suffix) and the no-suffix candidate that might become the final version once voted. J
