If people would just test on the nightlies we wouldn't need RC1 and RC2 at
all -- effectively, every nightly build from here on out should be
considered a release candidate with bug fixes only going in. But some
folks won't even try something unless it is "released" -- these exist
solely to potentially increase the amount of testing we get.
As a practical matter, I expect that we've already identified or nailed
most (hopefully all) of the serious issues, because the various betas of
Tomcat 4 have had tens of thousands of downloads.
