Buildroot is not really meant to test release candidates of upstream
packages, especially when the final release is unlikely to be released
before the next Buildroot release will be cut.

And every time because there's a good reason: no stable release at all,
or the last stable release has some issue that cannot be fixed by just
backporting a few patches.
Here there are no issues, and you propose to bump to a release
candidate. I really don't think we want to do this.
Best regards,
Thomas
