I would recommend that you don't. "RC" and "wontfix" do not mix very well.

That's a good idea indeed.

It is. Remember that it's a snapshot of testing what we release as
stable when a new stable is released, not a snapshot of unstable
(so it would be quite the reverse of what you said: until an issue
also affects testing, it is not RC).

Don't worry, I will not start a severity war for this issue, but if
you do not believe me, please ask any release manager.

Thanks.
