Yes, it might cause a problem to publish an RC. Any publication to Maven Central effectively freezes the current public API. If a problem is then found, generally the only solution that avoids jar hell is to release a new version with different package name and different Maven coords - i.e. effectively a different product. This will not be a drop-in replacement, and will require source code changes by anyone using it.
