I understand the point, on the other hand it's extra work for release manager and packager which would sometimes make sense to avoid and be so not strict in the way that RC2 step could be optional (or skipped if no objection from community). On the other hand we can add more steps (RC3, RC4, ...) if it will be necessary in the case of extra complicated release. Any comments, ideas?
