I spoke to Alvaro on PM, but he had to run, so I'm writing here instead of him:

[16:22:27] <Álvaro (#)> better
[16:22:30] <Álvaro (#)> 0.95.99
[16:22:32] <Álvaro (#)> then 0.95.999
[16:22:40] <Álvaro (#)> that way it doesn't look like 0.96 yet
[16:22:43] <Álvaro (#)> i mean
[16:22:45] <Álvaro (#)> if it's 0.96.1
[16:22:52] <Álvaro (#)> people won't see it as a rc

[16:25:31] <Álvaro (#)> but it's better just "tag 0.96"
[16:25:39] <Álvaro (#)> than "branch 0.96+revision number xxx981984934x
[16:25:47] <Álvaro (#)> isn't it? :D
[16:25:52] <Álvaro (#)> a tag is a finished branch
[16:26:05] <Álvaro (#)> i think it should be tagged anyways
[16:26:13] <Álvaro (#)> that way you can always check the list of tags
[16:26:17] <Álvaro (#)> and see what versions were released
