[Not related to the issue in question]

Indeed, just because it is tagged as RC doesn't mean everything must be
cast in stone. A RC tag is *not* an official release yet. Nothing stops
the FPC team from creating another 10 RC releases before the official
FPC 2.6.2 - and maybe fixing last minute critical bugs etc.

The more important thing is to get the issue at hand [if there is one]
resolved.

Many developers don't use Trunk, and only start testing new FPC releases
when RC's are announced. Yes, this is definitely not ideal for the FPC
team, but this is often how it works - roll with it.
