The reason is to avoid user frustration that can be caused by "unpolished" software. Also devs are supposed to be able to give better feedback for crashing software. If everything goes as I expect, rc2 announce will probably be posted in laa and lau mailing lists too. -- Nedko Arnaudov <GnuPG KeyID: DE1716B0>
