Yes, thanks for that, but if it is edited manually then why cannot the
original format of "LFS  8.1 Stable Release" be maintained instead of "LFS
Stable Version 8.1 Release"?  To me, it's not logical and it's hard to
follow.  Also, it doesn't follow the existing pattern.  Doing it the new
way we now have:-

LFS  Stable Version 8.1 Release
LFS 8.1-rc2 Release

Wouldn't the following be better and be in line with preceding entries:-

LFS 8.1 Stable Release
LFS 8.1-rc2 Release

I think it looks better, it scans better, it's more easily readable, and it
follows the existing pattern.
