It's also not following semver. Semver numbering, which is shown by the numbering of semver releases at https://semver.org/, would be "-rc.1". Also not that there are many, many projects which do not follow this semver rule and would use "rc1" without any dash whatsoever. Samba is an example, and has used such numbering for decades. With all that said, this is a "what color is the bikeshed" argument.
