RC3 was done quickly to correct a single obvious mistake in RC2 - an
update RC2 should have included was left out - so we didn't really do a
full survey of other bugs to check if there were more issues. RC3 is
really just 'what RC2 was meant to be'.

There's a clear distinction between TCs and RCs. RCs happen post-freeze
and can only be RCs if all confirmed blockers are addressed when they're
produced (when we've decided to spin an image post-freeze, during 'RC
time', but with known blockers remaining, we've called it a TC). This
was the case for RC2 (and RC1); it just turns out the apparent fix for
one blocker did not actually fix it. As described above we didn't
technically follow the strict letter of this policy for RC3, but there's
a reason for that (also see above). =) We have no precedent for going
backwards from RCs to TCs, either, so really the other choice would have
been not to spin an RC3 to fix the obvious bug in RC2 at all, which
doesn't seem like a better plan.
