I was wondering along the same lines. I have previously been assured 
that new "features" don't get rolled into release candidate builds, and 
the only changes in successive rc builds are things that caused 
regression failures in earlier builds. It seems that this policy has now 
changed to allow for changes to see how new users will react.
