I would be open to changing the way we refer to these early "releases" if the current misuse is causing confusion (although not for 8.0, lest we spur even more confusion).

I envision we'd probably have one or more "beta" release (beta1, beta2, ...) , followed by hopefully only one "release candidate" (rc1), followed by the release.

Would this address your concern?

Yes, if the "release candidate" really is a release candidate, i.e. this is exactly what we'll publish if no show-stoppers are found.
