-For testing, you can now download all of the above repos with:
-
-    npm install -g cordova@rc
+Once a name-version is published to the npm registry, it cannot be updated. Ever. And the name-version is parsed from the package.json file. So to move from an RC to final would require a change in the package.json file, which would invalidate any Apache vote. Defer the npm publishing until after the vote is complete and has passed.
