That's the fun part (:  When no more RC directories show up, that's a
good sign that you've got what will be the release.  Also you can verify
your CHECKSUM against the released checksum when the mirrors open up.

I'm not about to advertise in the public space "Hey come over here and
download the RC which became the release, get it early and destroy our
bandwidth!"
