I think having RC1 as an alpha would be confusing. To me, alphas are cutting edge nightly build versions.
Anyone else think this could be confusing?

Most of the users probably wouldn't hit the issues we find with the RCs right away anyways, so they would still serve the useful purpose of pounding away on other aspects of the RC that maybe the developers/testers on dev@ didn't find.
