No. Only in this case as it already has been clear that the RC doesn't have any chance to be released as final. "Real" release candidates should be announced of course.

But knowing about the problems and announcing it nevertheless - this should be avoided. > >We should not officially announce a RC that is broken. > > Agreed.
