I didn't quite follow that, but

is clear indeed. Well done.

At the risk of bike shedding, we're doing:

...
4.0.11-dev  (what 'mainline' called itself at the time)
4.0.11-rc1
4.0.11-rc2
4.0.11-rc3
4.0.11      (release)
4.0.12-dev  (what 'mainline' called itself at the time)
4.0.11a     (oops)
4.0.12-rc1
4.0.12-rc1
4.0.12      (release)
4.0.13-dev  (what 'mainline' is presently calling itself)

only key difference is the hyphen between the third number and the "rcN"
string. Lexical ordering and all that. We only bother to announce
"releases"; rcs are mentioned in the IRC topic and a quiet email to
list.

Frankly, though, so long as the release managers are consistent and
religiously follow $whatever style scheme, it really doesn't matter that
much.
