RC comes after TC, and TCs can never be the release.

That said, I see your concern.

Awesomely, whether it is 1.3G or 1.4G is somewhat ambiguous. Storage is
usually measured with _decimal_ prefixes, so 1410334720 ÷ 10⁹ is 1.41G.
This includes DVD and Blu-Ray media, so there's some logic in using it.

Of course, may other things in computing are measured with binary
prefixes, so a 1410334720 ÷ 2³⁰ = 1.31GiB, which is probably what your
browser is telling you (although also probably not with the
for-nerds-only GiB prefix).
