On further research I see that Apache Beam also does an update to the release package after voting: See: https://github.com/apache/beam/compare/v0.6.0-RC2...release-0.6.0 Please note that there is NO VOTE on 0.6.0, but there is on RC2: https://lists.apache.org/list.html?d...@beam.apache.org:lte=1y:vote Libcloud votes twice, although they seem to have a different understanding of a RC: https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/fb9ea1b77daf2abf34e386ede5f897d0d1b1a78921cb99717cef41a9@%3Cdev.libcloud.apache.org%3E https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/b6eb8199dca753b0020b0427c248c0494a4d45611bbab9885658f7d9@%3Cdev.libcloud.apache.org%3E Bolke.
