I'd leave it to the RM, if nothing substantial changes in two weeks,
there might not be a point of releasing essentially the same code. If,
OTOH, a major change lands, it may make sense to get it out ASAP.

The target would be the major frameworks and distros who might be
disrupted by the said major change, I guess...

I think difference between Beta and RC is mostly aesthetic, RC means "it
is really happening now, the train is departing!" :)
