The parent's point is that every production push everywhere was, at some point, a release candidate. Most people just rename that branch to remove the -rc suffix. Gitlab doesn't.

I get that, but I was just pointing out that while releasing a release candidate is fine, releasing multiple release candidates of the same version on production is slightly less fine.

Oh, I see what you mean now. Yes, I am inclined to agree there, although maybe their RCs are more akin to bugfix releases.
