I was not trying to point at whose fault it was.
If for nothing else because the only people not making mistakes
are those who don't do anything.

I was just collecting thoughts.

I am against the releases candidates as was done this time.
We should never create and distribute two tarballs with the same
name as it will lead to chats like this:
"The first 0.82 package"
"No, the second one".
"Were there more?"

In short it will be unclear what is in a package called 0.82.

If we we want release candidates we should give them distinctive names.
As least a the name of the tarball but probably also inside in the files.

We can do something like that but I don't see a lot of
advantages in that. At least not in our 0.xx releases.
