[FFmpeg-devel] Please do proper Release Candidates

Otherwise it just feels like random snapshot everyone downstream must adapt
to.

Also, PLEASE add API changelog in future  release announcements on website,
I want to see what broken in each release. Right now it looks like only
"positive" end of news openly publicized. Be honest, post other end of news
too.

Does it make a difference? Every release is going to be a snapshot at 
some point in development. And how much testing is a release candidate 
going to get? Distros rarely if ever implement them.

Release branches are created days or weeks before a release is tagged, 
and in the meantime, fixes are backported. And of course, fixes keep 
being backported to be included in point releases.

News entries on the website for new releases mainly mention features, 
but i guess we could add a link to APIChanges in it.
