The first (and hopefully last) release candidate for Python 2.6.3 is now available […] Thank you for this announcement, and the efforts that go into making this work available. Especially thank you for avoiding the oxymoronic “Released: 2.6.3 release candidate” or similar. I hope this signifies a trend toward using the more accurate term “available” for announcing availability of anything that's not an actual release.

Alphas, betas, and release candidates are all releases, too.

-- Regards, Benjamin
