Say wha?

Below is the first pragraph from current document sitting at...
http://httpd.apache.org/dist/Announcement.txt

Apache 1.3.19 Released
                                       
The Apache Software Foundation and The Apache Server Project are
pleased to announce the release of version 1.3.19 of the Apache HTTP
server. (Version 1.3.18 was not released due to an incorrect fix
addressing hostnames with url-escaped characters. A corrected fix will
be included in the next release)

It doesn't say Alpha or Beta or GA or anything else because everyone
knows 1.3.x can be considered GA eons ago. It also definitely says this 
version was 'released' and points out that the prior one was NOT.

The 2.0 process is going to need to be different but only in that
there has to be certain levels of 'agreement' about the quality of
any particular release candidate before anyone can start calliing
it Alpha, Beta, Cappa, Delta, Epsilon, Gesundheit, GA.

I suppose that will simply need to be a 'vote' just like other 
things are. 3 +1's says it's a Beta? More +1 for GA?

Yours...
Kevin
