This is not the semantic we are using. A RC is just a relese that we expect to become the GA if no major issue is encountered. It's not something like an attempt to release. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_release_life_cycle#Release_candidate The fact that we have to check that a RC is a valid RC against the ASF croteria does not impede the numbering scheme we use : we keep trying to cut a release, with the same number, until we get it correct. At least, that's my opinion, which may not be shared. In any case, it should not be a blocker...
