instead of doing a 14.0.0.0rc1 and then a 14.0.0.0rc2 that gets promoted to 14.0.0, we would produce a 14.0.0, then a 14.0.1 and just list that 14.0.1 in the release page at coordinated release time.
I like this part because to me it feels like those RCs nowadays are often not necessary to do from development perspective but still "have to" because it’s just such a release process. On the other hand, RCs are useful when the project is really being actively developed (new features, refactoring etc) because it helps to get something pretending to be the final release but there’s still a chance to update it if testing helped find some issues. For what it’s worth, I think having less versions is better, especially if all artificial (procedural if you will) ones are gone. Less confusing for users and new contributors. Such confusions really happen once in a while in practice. Thanks Renat Akhmerov @Nokia
