Release candidates are a step towards a complete release. RCs allow e.g. users to test the version. RCs are real and complete releases, just the version number contains the "RC" suffix.
Release candidates:
- are a finished milestone, but not everything is completed yet
- provide a way to already update and use PMD 7 downstream (e.g. to test integrations)
