The term 'release candidate' means the Subversion developers feel that  
this
release is stable and ready to be tested in production use.  If this  
testing
confirms its readiness, this candidate version will become the final  
released
version.  Therefore, we encourage people to test this release  
thoroughly.

As a note to operating system distro packagers: while we wish to have  
this
release candidate widely tested, we do not feel that it is ready for  
packaging
and providing to end-users through a distro package system.  Packaging a
release candidate poses many problems, the biggest being that our  
policy lets
us break compatibility between the release candidate and the final  
release, if
we find something serious enough.  Having many users depending on a  
release
candidate through their distro would cause no end of pain and  
frustration that
we do not want to have to deal with.  However, if your distro has a  
branch that
is clearly labeled as containing experimental and often broken  
software, and
explicitly destined to consenting developers and integrators only,  
then we're
okay with packaging the release candidate there.  Just don't let it  
near the
end users please.
