To be in accordance with release guidelines the release candidate should be called version-incubating-SNAPSHOT. "Stable" is the branch we use to test so people can test while bugs are getting fixed, i didnt invent this. Probably at the end of the day testing will move to the branch which will be the release candidate. So i see no violation of the process as is, unless you could point me to a document that says otherwise.
This is in accordance with release management for svn written by our old friend Leo (http://lsimons.wordpress.com/2010/02/19/using-long-lived-stable-branches/) which is the advised svn management strategy endorsed by the (http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html#guidelines. ) I am not at the point where i can call a release candidate, still in the testing phase. We can name it accordingly when we call for release candidate and the vote.
