It would defeat the entire point of having a RC.
A TC can NEVER be the final released bits.
A RC could be, and if it is, it's just released. Changing it at all
after it's been tested means you aren't actually testing the thing you
are releasing. You are testing something else and hoping you don't mess
up something in changing it.
There's no need to change the RC. For example, compose the RC exactly as
it's done now, then change the ISO names to be unique. After testing, change
the Gold RC's name back and recreate/edit the CHECKSUM files (for good
measure make sure the checksums are the same before and after). During
testing, the name is unique, and the released ISO is identical to the tested
one.
