What you see below was just for practice. I had some discussions around
this in RE and with Kelly and the conclusion was that it would be
jdk7-bNN as you are suggesting. I will also tag specific milestones as
mentioned below.

Added tag jdk7-ea-b99 for changeset 8792e7dbf130
The problem with this tag format, which is based on our ancient
bundle-naming scheme, is that the middle token changes over time,
from "ea" to "beta" to (maybe) "beta2" to "rc" to "fcs". This
makes it unnecessarily difficult to look up a changeset for a
specific build -- you also need to know in which phase of the
release cycle it was promoted.
I think it'd make more sense to use simple "jdk7-bNN" tags, and
then also tag specific milestones as "jdk7-beta", "jdk7-rc1",
"jdk7-fcs", etc.
