With all the work for automated releasing, isn't it easy to do an RC and
a week or two later do a regular release?  Admittedly, lots of people
(like myself) haven't made most of our CI setups run all of pinned
versions, latest release, latest pre-release, and latest trunk...  but
maybe having more projects actually doing release candidates is one
piece of encouraging that?  Or maybe, practically speaking, nobody is
going this route anyways so you are suggesting a better path.

In case anyone isn't super familiar... 

pip install git+https://github.com/twisted/twisted#egg=twisted 

The #egg=twisted is useful for misc corner cases but not always
required.  One not-so-corner case is when you want to specify an extra
then it is #egg=twisted[windows_platform], for example. 

Cheers,
