I guess I wasn't clear.  Is there some place one can download RC versions?

That place is not via the web pages, even if you say you want 
bleeding-edge non-release versions.  If you ask for bleeding-edge 
non-release stuff you get a list of 1.3.x releases, or a daily 
snapshot.

If it's really just a matter of days, I can wait.  I'm used to NetBSD 
where the RC versions are in the same list as -current and release 
versions.  Also NetBSD RC versions can sometimes sit for a month or 
two before going final.
