This is fair criticism.  I believe I'm the one that started referring to 
these composes as "release candidates" more vocally.  We needed a way to 
reference the succession of attempted composes for a release point, be 
it Alpha, Beta, or GA.  Calling them release candidates made sense to 
me, however I can see how they could be confusing.

Would it make more sense to refer to these as "Alpha Candidate", "Beta 
Candidate" and "Release Candidate" ?  ac{1,2,3}, bc{1,2}, rc1  ?

It does mean the name will change at each stage, but it should be more 
descriptive as to what stage we're in.

Thoughts?
