I believe last year on the 17.XX betas they had an RC, RC2....and even changed in the public release. I forget which ios 17 beta that was---so it's not a guarantee like you correctly stated above---- "RC is not always same as the final".
Got a tip for us?

Doesn't the feedback app get removed if you turn off beta updates once on RC?
The feedback app is always there. However, it is only shown in the board when the beta profile is active. But anyone can open Safari and typing “applefeedback://“
You may be right, but the fact that it adds the Feedback app when downloading the RC still just kinda gives me the feeling of it being some form of a beta.
After a long summer/fall beta, it will be nice to have a release today, it’s been so long since we’ve all had one.

Hey, brother, it's time to change some conversation!!
All this discussion about the soon to arrive 18.1 RC, amazing. 
The feedback app is on your device, even on prod versions. You can open it by going to applefeedback:// in Safari. It just doesn’t have a springboard icon.
Another day another huge disappointment from Apple for a release that's been in beta since July
Yep its out
