OK, if I understand you, you're saying you should test each beta
separately, as a "by itself install" until you get to an RC, and then
test the official upgrade from official release to RC?

Cause if that is the case, you leave little room for error, or not
enough time to get anything fixed (especially if it's a bug and you have
to wait on someone else to fix) if you have problems.  At least during
the betas, you start testing and start getting things fixed way ahead of
time and insure they are fixed, both on the user end and the developer
end.

I guess if you have the time and not in a hurry to upgrade, then you can
just wait and start testing when the RC's come out, get problems fixed
and/or resolved, then do the official upgrade.  Guess depends on your
time restraints, priorities, and what you need to do the job.
