I second this and offer my services for two, three different system
What is the difference between a 'RC' and a new version?
One should TEST this new version ALWAYS before using it in production
(it does not matter if there was a 'RC' before it...)

RC means exactly what is says Release Client :) NOT a release.
So if you get bitten by it then do not come here complaining.
Most software go through several RCs before issuing a normal release.
Most administrators have test systems that can test RCs for basic
functionality and report here of any problems to be fixed.
Some though jump into a new release when one is available.
An RC should at least show the red flag raised.
