Yeah, you're right, I've done this in aedfbcb893e96. The new policy already found its way into notes/release-checklist.txt. > While we are on this topic, can I request that the monotone version be > bumped to 0.43 immediately after the release, rather than immediately > before the next release?

Technically this does not really belong to the release itself, but you're of course free to suggest (and possible also change) it. I don't know how other people think about this, maybe it will confuse a couple of people, but maybe its more useful than confusing. > Currently, I patch the monotone version (in configure.ac) locally to > support this.

Since we can change the release numberer any time _after_ a release, maybe we can have a few more people giving us their pros and cons on your idea.
