Just in case you're interested, when an RC branch exists for Friendica it's generally further ahead of the `develop` branch. The `2025.07-rc` branch is about 120 commits ahead currently. And I think stability is even more important on RC than develop since more users are running it, and it should ideally be readier for release at any point. That said, some fairly extensive changes have happened in RC this time around because it's been the main place for development for many months now as the release has dragged out this time. But development itself has continued all this time, so at least it will be a far more extensive release with more improvements than usual, I think.
