IMHO. > One thing to note is that we have released "Apache NetBeans 9.0 RC1". The second -rc1, or -vc1, or anything else is just a marker for various builds and should only be seen by the developer community (and general@incubator), the end users should not see that. I don't mind the -vc1, -vc2, -vc3. An alternative might be "-build1", "-build2" or "-b1", "-b2", etc. That would be close to what Christian is proposing, and might also be closer to what non-Apache folks expect.
