Allow me to consider that a joke:

REL7_2_BETA1
REL7_1_STABLE
REL7_1_BETA3
REL7_1_BETA2
REL7_1_BETA
REL7_1_2
REL7_1

So,

Where is REL7_1_1?  Where is REL7_1_BETA1?  What does REL7_1_BETA belong
to?  What ever happened to beta4 thru beta6 or so, and rc1 through rc3?
What is the CVS tag for 7.2b1?  What release is the tag REL7_2_BETA1 for?

And if there is a 7.2b1, where is 7.2a1?  And do you realise that in the
GNU tradition, a release 7.2b would be a beta release leading to 7.3?

And I won't even start talking about the names of the ChangeLog files
which are fortunately gone.

All of this requires just a minute of thought and will save countless
people a headache.

Please.
