A RC should have the quality to be able to be released directly, otherwise
it would be no RC.  Therefore it is necessary to have a phase before the
RC where bugs are fixed without introducing new ones.  This phase ideally
starts with the Beta version.  If that means that some bugs are left
unfixed, that's life.  It's not the last release.  Like Stephan said, of
course you can fix bugs, depending how severe they are, and how involved
the fix is.  In this phase one should act very conservatively.


Ciao,
Michael.
