That was intentional. The patch-level RCs are the actual release: when we are 
satisfied with a package set, we will release *that* set, no rebuilding. We are 
giving the "rc" name just for testers' benefit.

That's a separate procedure. It requires rebuilding everything to remove the 
"-rcX" from the name. It's acceptable for the longer process for the minor 
release, but not for the patch-level.
