No, but it's a good idea. There's always the risk of breaking something
and you don't want to introduce a disk-eating bug between -rc and -final.
It's better to ship one more -rc and wait a day before -final. If you
don't, people will just get in the habit of waiting a day after -final to
be safe.

That's less important.
