Why is RC1 still just a tag without a release despite NuGet package availability?

[dodexahedron]

RC1 has been available on NuGet for a hot second now.

But, on GitHub, beta7 is still the most recent release published, with RC1 only having a tag but no release.

I noticed when I wanted to come over here and diff RC1 against beta7. Clearly that was still doable since there at least is a tag for it. But the lack of a release for a release candidate seemed a bit strange to me. 🤷‍♂️

Why the discrepancy?

@dotnet/product-construction are we publishing this nuget from the VMR correctly?

@rbhanda the release notes are again missing. Can you please put this on some list so that it doesn't happen again?

Also a note that the ms learn docs still talk extensively about beta5 as the latest¹, but that's old news at this point.

Thanks I just created one for RC1: https://github.com/dotnet/command-line-api/releases/tag/v2.0.0-rc.1.25451.107. My hope is that for RC2 and onwards this will be automated. (cc @rbhanda)
