Yes, that is obviously a very nice user-oriented feature.

I started realizing this numbering scheme may be a good idea during the
development process of Tomcat 4 (where there was the "M"-series, followed by
the "Beta" series, and then by the "RC" series); I felt it was more
consistent. I wouldn't change the numbering scheme in the current branch
(otherwise, it would really start confusing people IMO). We could change it
for future releases, of course.
