That is not how we have done it in the past. We have never done it that way. 
When releasing beta8, we originally created the tag log4j-2.0-beta8. When the 
vote failed, we renamed that tag to log4j-2.0-beta8-rc1 and re-created the tag 
log4j-2.0-beta8. The vote on that tag passed. This is clearly shown in the 
source control log:

- /logging/log4j/log4j2/tags/log4j-2.0-beta8-rc1 was copied from 
/logging/log4j/log4j2/tags/log4j-2.0-beta8 in r1501987 with the comment "Failed 
release"
- /logging/log4j/log4j2/tags/log4j-2.0-beta8 was copied from 
/logging/log4j/log4j2/trunk in r1502001 (newer) with the comment 
"[maven-release-plugin] copy for tag log4j-2.0-beta8"

... I'm doing this like we have always done it.
