Who said anything about a release candidate 8?

As mentioned by Nils, it is most likely your choice to try to upgrade a RC
to the final release:

The fedora-release-3-8 package is the appropriate package for FC3.

The fact that updates from test releases to final releases aren't
supported (in the sense that anything Fedora is "supported") has been
communicated to death.  However some people just have issues coming to
grips with the answer.  You will have trouble trying to do it, and if you
chose to do it plan on spending some time fixing it.
