We have fixed the majority of bugs from RC1 and will release an RC3 next week. During the RC phase, we only provide delta ISOs of the media and update the factory tree as well."

cause if it had no bugs, it where final. Realease candidate means that, that is candidate for final release, unless there are some more bugs/problems, in that case another release canidate can be released.

What the above poster is saying is that a Release Candidate should indeed have NO KNOWN BUGS. The SUSE team are doing their releases very oddly, it seems to me these release candidates have just been more betas, they just jumped to call them RCs becuase people were already talking about the huge quantity of beta releases, I'm not complaining either, I am all for rigorous testing but their way of doing their releases is getting a little annoying.

That's impossible, considering even the final release will have known bugs.
