Just to quote Greg here:

<CelloG> you could solve Steph's concern by putting the "testing release" block in a different place
<CelloG> put the official current release block in the upper left
<CelloG> and the testing block down on the left a little lower

This sounds like the way to go.

We also can add a detailed description of what is release candidate, what's the difference comparing to a release etc. to qa.php.net 
and add a link to that page in the block. Actually, I'll try to write something tomorrow.

Any more volunteers to patch php.net? 
Hannes? You seem to be the most active person in that area atm =)
