For listmembers: Yes, we should know and wait for an announcement 
Non listmembers: No, how should they know these versions are not final.

At http://livecode.com/download/ there is link near the bottom labeled "View 
all Livecode Downloads"

Clicking on that link opens a folder with subfolders labeled according 
available version numbers. And in folder 6.5.2 there are Installers for the 
community and the commercial version. Some have an additional rc in their 
names. But there are also installers without any rc  or dp in their names.

So one would assume these are final versions.

Either RR should label theses versions correctly, if they really are not final 
or RR should avoid placing them wrong labled in a public download folder.

Just imagine a new customer without access to the mailinglist where the 
announcements are posted, downloads such a "buggy" "wrong labled" version.
How should she/he know what is final and what not?

Matthias
