Having an RC as soon as it would be logically possible (maybe leaving out the enhancements , which i can't judge for their cerrectness, or the simpler css fixes), would mean many of us could finally start or go on making modules and templates in a much steadier pace.

Nevertheless one has to keep in mind that this will also mean that us and only us would be responsible to keeping them up-to-date to the latest RC hotfixes, and complying to the Dolphin platform.

@Zarcon:
With the upcoming of see more D7 Boonex provides us with many more tools to develop and overcome most major problems (by tools i mean ready-to-use functions, templating system and other technical stuff already enclosed in D7). I see no reason for one to start developing a mod, as long as it is within the reasonable expectations of clients (you can't ask one to develop Youtube,FB,Twitter and Myspace all in one pack for one client) and as long as the developer does his job the right way (keep the stepping stones of the platform, so that even with a hotfix, he'll simply upgrade his own mod to v1.1 and overcome the incompatibilities in minimum time) Heck, i got 4 mods under construction already (they might look like MichelSwiss's home but i'm working on it,lol)!

@Houston:
How could a developer demand from boonex any hotfix? We're actually spin-offs to the platform, and we should comply to it, not the platform to us! The biggest difference between the already existing betas and a well-figured RC should be a fully developed SQL db that won't alter/change for every minor bug, and that is 99% already done!

Generally:
The biggest thorn here ows to be security. No matter what, even an RC driven live site, should be at least safe enough for the user. But here comes the other issue, the one of the security flaws a third party module could have...a pretty touchy point.

A small hint here.
Till now we had D6.x.x with most mods applied on a Live site by various ways.Running a script to alter/update SQL, adding some code to a vast number of php files etc. This made the development of a module really slow and it's application even harder, but it's outcome absolutely great. Each developer could practically change anything/everything on the platform and simply create cool mods that enhance the platform greatly.
Now we have to do it by the book! We may not feel so free as to change it the way we want to (or the way it is easier for us) but it surely is faster (if not rapid) and safer (secure, upgradable, with a nice software life-cycle).
