Any chance you could just tag RC2 really soon, before the normal weekly schedule? This https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/17774#issuecomment-237552549 being on RC1 essentially breaks all appveyor builds on julia 0.5 right now, and that makes cleaning up packages really difficult.
Manual links to RC1+1 binaries don’t end up on the appveyor builds, so that is not really a practical option. My sense is that people would have to put package cleanup on hold until appveyor builds are back in business, which seems really not good. After all the whole point of releasing these RCs that are not candidates for a release is presumably so that package maintainers can get their packages to work on 0.5.

Yes. We don't currently do automated nightly builds from release branches. Any sha from a branch within JuliaLang/julia can easily be built on demand though.

Going forward, what will I get from http://s3.amazonaws.com/julialang/bin/winnt/x64/0.5/julia-0.5-latest-win64.exe I assume not nightly builds from the release-0.5 branch, but always the latest RC, and then the final version? Is there a stable link that would get me the nightly builds from release-0.5 on windows?

An especially nasty bug was introduced on master right before we branched for release-0.5 and I unfortunately missed it in my testing. I had a PkgEval run going but tagged before it was finished, in order to get binaries building. I won't be repeating that mistake next time.
