Reminds me of what happened at a previous employer. We had a hard rule that
a product shall not be released unless it has no more than 2 severe or
critical bugs. Solution: Stop testing 2-3 weeks ahead of the scheduled
release day.

Here: We don't want to see -rc20. Solution: Stop applying bug fixes
at -rcX.
