I've thought about this as well, but given that some widely used PECL extensions are not ready for PHP 7.3 yet (for instance, yaml[1], mailparse[2] and uopz[3]) (Remi may have more to say on this), it might be better to still have two additional RCs (RC4 has been tagged yesterday). Furthermore, timelib has only recently been upgraded to 2018.01RC1[4], and I think it may need some time to be stable.
