Again, there is no need for "final" because the release itself does not need
a suffix. It has its own repository, a version number, and usually also a
build number.

Only for the trunk versions, we need alpha, beta, rc to distinguish feature
freeze and code freeze. "beta" is feature freeze and "rc" is code freeze.

Best,
Marcel
