In a separate thread, just take another project I'm involved in, Portals with the RI for https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/portals/pluto/tags/
contains all kinds of tags like - pluto-2.0.3-SNAPSHOT-2010-11-01/ <https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/portals/pluto/tags/pluto-2.0.3-SNAPSHOT-2010-11-01/> or - release-1.0.1-rc1/ <https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/portals/pluto/tags/release-1.0.1-rc1/> Just like the RC tags you'll find in many other projects including DeviceMap. They just co-exist. Having created a special folder for "releases" is not that common, most just mix them in a single folder, but all remain as they are. Even if they were created say 10 years ago.
