it's only rc3, guessing by the small number, probably quite a while
well the question is how long approximately ? a year ? 2 years ?
and btw how many release candidates are usually dished out before the stable release , in other words what's the highest rc number before the final release ?

that would be up to the development team to deem it ready to be called a final release, it could be the next release, it could be 10 revisions from now, I don't believe there is a 'maximum' rc number, it's just a matter of when the dev team decides the software is ready.
