Hi Aaron,
I think it'd be a good idea to create pip packages for the release
candidates. Sheng, would it be possible to incorporate this into your build
pipeline? In my opinion, we shouldn't advertise the RCs not too much on our
website, so I'd say we could skip #2. #3 in combination with #1 sounds like
a good idea.

In the meantime, we could just patch the install page for 1.2.0 and a big
red warning message that states that this a release candidate and that the
publish process is ongoing. This way, we can let the 1.2.0 website stay up
and also avoid confusion. WDYT?
