 If you are the maintainer of one of such projects, you can
 help us get ahead of problems in simple way.
 
+Pint will publish a release candidate (rc) at least a week before each new
+version. By default, `pip` does not install these versions unless a
+[pre](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/cli/pip_install/#cmdoption-pre) option
+is used so this will not affect your users.

 In addition to your standard CI routines, create a CI that install Pint's
 release candidates. You can also (or alternatively) create CI that install
 Pint's master branch in GitHub.
