Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narhwal" Will Not Have A Release Candidate

Interesting that, in these secular times, a stated reason for not doing a RC a week before shipping is that Easter weekend would overlap the crunch.

Not that it makes it that different from previous releases, but with the Unity UI shift and related changes it seems like there's still a lot of work to be done before release. Viz [http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/natty/alpha2] and the description of the Desktop Edition:

"Unity is now the default in the Ubuntu Desktop session.

This is partially implemented. ...."

tl;dr - No RC. Beta2 instead.
