Yes, this is good, even if for ASF they will all be official releases (no RC): 
but 10.04, 10.6 will be "alpha" (or similar) releases and "10.06" will be a 
"stable" release.
Even if, and I always insist on this, only the community, with the 
contributions coming from users of the "stable" release, will decide if the 
"stable" release will be "maintained": this cannot be a responsibility of 
committers.
