So that would then also be the final release name name (e.g. 
trafficsever-3.3.0-rc1-dev)? I find that somewhat confusing, release candidates 
are typically associated with pre stable releases (which is what we use the dev 
releases for). Renaming an artifact after the vote completes  is a bit of PITA, 
unless we only rename the tarball and not the source tree it creates. 

If we are concerned about the reuse of the minor number during dev release 
recycles, I'd suggest we do what Nick proposed, and simply skip version 
numbers. This has another problem though, which is that all Jira tickets have 
to be renumbered on a respin (at least I would insist that they should). But 
this would be my preference to address this concern. I'm +0 on this, I just 
don't find it to be a significant problem myself. :)
