I'm sure this has been discussed but I missed it. Why was this change
made? If nothing else, it breaks many years of tradition.

I assumed it was the tradition because all the 3.0 and 2.6 candidates had "rc".

While we are on that, I just noticed:
http://www.python.org/download/releases/3.1/
Has downloads for 3.1rc2, but show checksums as if for 3.1rc1
The size and checksum is correct for python-3.1rc2.msi,
distinct from that for python-3.1rc1.msi, but are labeled as rc1.
The 32-bit .msi is the only one of the four I checked; I suspect
the other three are similarly mislabeled.
