The ordering intentionally puts the easy to use, one size fits all
above the platform specific packaging. Experience tells us that the
people that have most trouble figuring out what to download tend to be
the ones for whom the one-click point and drool packages are the most
appropriate. The more experienced users are generally able to find the
'exact-fit' packages for their distro.
The RC label is more of a disclaimer for the installers themselves
than anything else (the content is all release standard). They are
completely production ready imo - the ratio of downloads to issues
reported has been insanely high. I will be removing the RC label for
the next builds in a week or two.
