(to my knowledge) there's no link to it on the downloads page.
Although, we probably could use more time between "all known
regressions
in beta fixed" and the actual release. Usually it's just the
next day.
Yes, but because there's no link on the main page and no
installer, the RC's are effectively closed to the public because
only people in the know will go through the trouble to get the
RC's and install them.
I'm only talking about when the next release gets very to release
should something like this be done. It'll make installing a new
release far less risky business when it goes final. It'll improve
confidence in the final product and further reduce or completely
eliminate nasty surprises.
IMO doing this will have a similar positive effect like as we've
seen with the improved release log.
