What is the difference between a 'RC' and a new version?
One should TEST this new version ALWAYS before using it in production (it does not matter if there was a 'RC' before it...)

RC means exactly what is says Release Client :) NOT a release. So if you get bitten by it then do not come here complaining. Most software go through several RCs before issuing a normal release. Most administrators have test systems that can test RCs for basic functionality and report here of any problems to be fixed. Some though jump into a new release when one is available. An RC should at least show the red flag raised.
