However, let's take a look at the Group document. "The version name is the final name of a version which consists of the version number and an optional suffix." And then later, it states merely: "The state should always be added as a suffix unless the state is "stable" (please note that as stated above the state "beta" is used for beta releases and for release candidates). The suffix consists of the state followed by a number which is incremented with every subsequent release with the same state." The level of urgency being "should" not "must", there is no obligation to add the state to the version number. However, if the state is added, it must be followed by a number. Therefore, imho, there is no need to bug people about the missing state indicator. Perhaps the Group could comment?
