Because RCs and DPs are different beasts.

By the time you get to an RC1 release it's expected that barring any 
newly-introduced problems the next build will be the 'stable' release. 
I've been assured that nothing will get added once we get to RCland, and 
that includes bugfixes to anything that was previously broken as well as 
nifty new features.

DP releases should be more for things like testing whether a mandatory 
backdrop would resonate with users, messing with the handler list, 
adding experimental features to see if they break, etc.
